There are 36 real players whose names and likenesses were licensed for the game. You can see a full list on the right side of the box in the Box Art gallery below. The roster is shockingly close to a list of the top 40 career Wins Above Replacement leaders, naturally missing a few then-active players in Rickey Henderson and Barry Bonds, and a few mega-all-timers who you imagine might have been too expensive or difficult to license in Ted Williams and Mickey Mantle. Roger Clemens and Greg Maddux are the only two then-active players included in the roster. Josh Gibson and Satchel Paige make sense as two inclusions to represent the Negro Leagues, and Japanese career home run record holder Sadaharu Oh is a fun inclusion on the game’s roster.
