Shout Factory and Major League Baseball Productions present ’MLB Superstars Show You Their Game’. Presented in a 2.35:1 letterboxed-widescreen production that, due to its original video source, does tend to suffer from very minor video ailments in certain excerpts of the production, such as bleeding and smearing, but offers an overall pleasant viewing experience. Blacks are deep and nicely rendered, with balanced white levels that produce good detail throughout. Some over-saturation of color is noticed, but is not considered to be distracting in anyway.
