====Pause Option====
If you wish to curtail play for a few minutes, press the '''PAUSE''' key on the MBX console. Play can then be resumed by re-pressing the '''PAUSE''' key with no loss of game score or batting sequence.
===Strategy Hints===
Championship Baseball is the most realistic video baseball game ever developed. The following hints can help you to become a top-flight player.

! Fielding Team Topic !! Hints
|-
| Pitching || Always mix up your pitch selection, trying slow curveballs, fastballs down the middle, or an outside ''blooper' '(slow) ball.
|-
| Pickoffs || Keep your eye on base runners. You can keep them "honest" by an occasional throw to the specific baseman instead of pitching.
|-
| Double Plays || If a base runner starts to move out on the baseline, and the batter gets an infield hit, you have a good chance for a double play, especially if the hit was a short pop-up.
|-
| Run Downs || Use the '''TAG''' key on the MBX keypad to run down a base runner that is too far off the base.

! At-Bat Team Topics !! Hints
|-
| Hitting || The bat speed is variable, so use the slowest speed for a bunt when you have a man on second and want to advance him to third. Typically, don't hit to short left field when there is a man on first. You'd be a sure candidate for a double play.
|-
| Stealing || You can taunt the pitcher by edging up the baseline. He might try to pick you off, but if he doesn't, wait for the moment the pitch leaves his glove-then run!
|-
| Sliding || The '''SLIDE button (Button 1)''' on the MBX joystick allows you to slide into second, third or home. It should be used carefully, because a premature slide can cause you to be caught before you hit the base.
