Easy Home Run
When Griffey is up to bat, if you hear him say "I'm Back", then wait for a good pitch. If you get one that is up in the strike zone and you hit it well, he will hit a home run almost every time. Be sure to not swing at a bad pitch if you hear him say this. Fastballs are best to hit.

Fireworks
Enter View Stadium mode by pressing Z. While choosing your stadium, press Z+R simultaneously to launch fireworks.

Magic Pitch
While pitching, move your pitching cursor out of hitting cursor. Hold the z button press any one of the C buttons to look at the base. Let go of the Z button before you let go of the C button. When you return to the batting screen there will be no cursors. Now you can pitch as usual but the computer will not be able to hit the ball. (Make sure the hitting cursor is outside the pitching cursor.)

Move the Baseball on the Title Screen
To move the baseball on the title screen, hold Z and move the analog stick.

New Uniforms
In a exhibition game at team select to play ball then press all 4 C- buttons repeatly. This will change the color of the home team's uniform.

Quicker Throws
To throw the ball quicker, hold down the C-button for the base you want to throw to before you catch the ball. That way you'll toss it off immediately.

Reset the Aimer of the Opponent's Pitcher
When the ball is about to be thrown for a pitch by the opposite team, press START on your controller. Then press the B button to return back to the game. If done correctly, the pitcher's aimer will be inside your hit circle. This DOES NOT mean that the pitch will go directly down the center, the pitch may curve off from the center. This code just tells you where the ball will be aimed as the pitcher releases it.

Steal Bases More Easily
To steal bases more easily press the lead off button three times. Then wait until the pitcher winds up, as soon as he does, press the lead off button one more time to steal the base. Doing this with a player of adequate speed will allow you get such a jump that the catcher won't even attempt to throw you out.

Stealth Pitch
While pitching, move the cursor anywhere inside the strike zone exept in the middle and hold it there. Then press Z and Right-C at the same time. Let go of Z first, then C. Both cursors should have disapeared!

Switch your Uniform Colors
After you hit a homerun on the road wait for it to show your team in the dugout cheering for you then press A and you will see the oppenents colors on your jersey.

Track the Ball
When you're up at bat, hold B and your circle will move to where the ball is going to be. As soon as it moves let go and now you can swing at it.

Unhittable Pitch
Place the crosshair anywhere in the strikezone except inside the yellow hitting circle. Holding the crosshair where you want it, press Z and then press Left-C, Right-C, or Up-C to look at one of the bases. Release the Z button first, then release the C-Button, bringing you back to looking at the batter. There should now be no crosshair or hitting circle. Now throw whatever pitch you want and the computer will swing and miss or watch it go by for a strike.
