MLB The Show 17 show the majesty in America's past-time - The Toledo Blade

The Blade's Will Harrison: The history of baseball is not only celebrated and cherished, but also integral to understanding the game. Classic calls by legendary broadcasters regale the heroics of Americas pastime, with names like Ruth, Mantle, Gehrig, and Ripken remembered more as pillars of Americana than mere mortals. MLB The Show 17 leans into this celebration of baseball, dipping every edge of this years installment into the sepia-toned nostalgia that is the sports rich history. From fantasy modes in which legends of the game are draft-worthy fare to a retro, 8-bit rendition of classic baseball video games, The Show leverages the power of yesteryear even while seemingly ignoring the future. Not much progress has occurred since last years iteration, but The Show 17 still does enough to indulge the desires of yet another regular season arrival.
