He presented the concept to the legendary Ron Gilbert (not only the creator of Maniac Mansion but also the founder of Humongous), and after a while, he approved.

The design team was made of Mirkovich, Richard Moe (a programmer), and Mark Peyser (a graphic designer).

High-quality hand-drawn cartoon graphics, fluid animations, excellent gameplay, and, most importantly, a fantastic character design.

The baseball players, 30 kids, were designed with their own lookfeel and personality.

Vaguely inspired to the Peanuts, they are also a great example of diversity: 15 boys, 15 girls, all in different sizes, colors, and races.

This was probably one of the most memorable elements of this game.

In this case, the real star is a short kid called Pablo Sanchez.

Even if he looks like the worst player, he is the greatest one, and everybody loved him.

Believe it or not, Pablo Sanchez is one of the most beloved videogames characters ever created.

Its a great example of the flexibility of the engine invented by Ron Gilbert.
