All-Star Baseball is a series of baseball video games that was developed and published by Acclaim Entertainment. The series began in 1997 with the release of All-Star Baseball '97 Featuring Frank Thomas, the successor to Frank Thomas Big Hurt Baseball. New York Yankees play-by-play announcers John Sterling and Michael Kay were the announcers for 1998-2000 editions of the game.

The final game in the series is All-Star Baseball 2005, released in April 2004. The following month, Major League Baseball ended its licensing agreement with Acclaim for the franchise due to unpaid royalties.[1] The franchise went inactive following Acclaim's bankruptcy in September 2004.
