PARKVILLE, MD - (March 22, 2007) - Enlight Interactive, one of
the world's leading developers and publishers of entertainment software for the
PC platform, today announced the latest edition of its award-winning baseball
simulation series, Baseball Mogul 2008, has been shipped to retail outlets. The
acclaimed baseball management simulation game allows players to manage and

future. Baseball Mogul 2008 is rated "E" for everyone by the ESRB and will be

"This game is a baseball fan's dream come true, and an absolute must have for
anyone playing fantasy baseball this year," says Paul Lombardi, chief executive
officer of Enlight Interactive. "The new Play-by-Play mode adds an exciting
element to the game. Not only will users be able to keep track of game stats and
player attributes as the team's general manager, but now they'll have the
ability to simulate an entire game, pitch-by-pitch."
"Improvements on last year's version and brand-new features will provide players
with an opportunity to see their team's pennant flags raised for years to come,"
says Clay Dreslough, president of Sports Mogul Inc. "With the start of the
season just around the corner, fantasy players and fans of baseball in general
will find plenty of ways to live out their big league dreams."
Baseball Mogul 2008 features the best simulation experience yet, with up-to-date
lineups, a roster of over 18,000 current and former players, complete financial
management control, and the ability to sign, trade, and release players. In this
year's edition, players can watch the action on the diamond unfold like never
before in Play-by-Play mode. As a general manager, enjoy the game from the
luxury box and make the necessary power moves to keep your team in the pennant
race. In manager mode, set up the proper defense to contain the opposition or
instruct your batters to wait for a hitter's pitch. In Player mode, brush the
batter back with a high and tight splitter, or swing at a fastball and aim for
the fences.
