a leading developer and publisher of interactive entertainment for
PCs and handheld devices, today announced that they will work with

game equivalent of a dream come true for anyone who collected baseball
cards as a kid,” by Gamespot.com. The Baseball Mogul series
has won awards from countless sports and gaming publications over
the years, including the Sports Game of the Year award from Computer
Gaming World in 1998.
PC Gamer magazine reviewed Baseball Mogul 2002 in December 2001
saying "I've put more hours into Baseball Mogul 2002 than I
have into any other game this year. And no, it's not just because
I'm a nut for sports stats. This brilliant, endlessly involving
game will take over every spare hour of a baseball fan's life. ...
89% - Excellent."
“I’m very excited to be working with Monkeystone Games
on our upcoming release,” said Clay Dreslough, President of
Sports Mogul. “We’ve had some great success self-publishing
previous versions of Baseball Mogul. Now that we are working with
the Monkeystone team we will be able to introduce many more customers
to the thrill of owning a Big League team. And with the new features
in this year's release, we're sure that all of our customers will
enjoy the new game.”
“Monkeystone brings some great strengths to our partnership,
and together we have some real synergies,” said James Grove,
Vice-President of Marketing and Business Development. “Now
that our award-winning product is backed by the sales and distribution
support of Monkeystone, we believe that this will be the best selling
release of Baseball Mogul ever.”
“I have nothing but the highest of praise for Baseball Mogul
2003 and the Sports Mogul team,” says Monkeystone CEO John
Romero. “This is the finest sports management simulation a
baseball fan could hope for. Our team is extremely excited to be
