MLB 06: The Show

MLB 06: The Show is a baseball simulation developed by SCE San Diego Studio, formerly known as 989 Sports, and released in 2006 for PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable. Published by Sony Computer Entertainment, it was the sole first-party MLB-licensed title for the 2006 season and one of only two MLB-licensed games released that year, alongside Major League Baseball 2K6. The game carries forward the franchise's focus on authentic professional baseball, allowing players to engage with officially licensed teams and rosters across its available platforms. Its release marked a continued effort by SCE San Diego Studio to establish the Show series as a premier baseball property under the Sony umbrella, distinguishing it from competing third-party offerings in the sports genre during that period.
