Triple Play 2000 is a baseball sports game released for the PlayStation, Nintendo 64 and Microsoft Windows in 1999. It is the only game of the Triple Play series released for the Nintendo 64 where it was released in North America. It features the 1999 rosters and 1998 stats which included Sammy Sosa's 66 HR and Mark McGwire's 70 home runs.
The game features real players and teams active at the time of production. Players can play single matches, an entire season, the playoffs, or a home run derby. Team selection and transfers come under player control. Jim Hughson and Buck Martinez provide the commentary on all console versions except Martinez, who was not featured in the Nintendo 64 version. The game was the first version to support Internet play on the PC.

What the critics said

Brad Cook gave the PC version three-and-a-half stars out of five, saying, "Overall, Triple Play 2000 is kind of like a well-hit ball which reaches the warning track but falls into the arms of the center fielder right in front of the wall. The swing was sweet, but there just wasn't enough juice for a home run."
