Hum, I'm not a fan of baseball myself. lol, I even don't know the rules or even how to call the name of the positions.
But I admit your review makes me want to take peek on it. Even if it's just to see if it catches me.

Also, it's not a true anime if the characters doesn't have a name for their "attacks" such as Super-Amazing-Cobra-Twist-Throw!!! *screen flashes in multiple colors*

James Henley honestly found Big Windup! to be more entertaining than any real baseball game he's watched.

This is true to most sports animes imo. :p
Prince of Tennis anyone?

For the record, I'm in the exact same boat here. I'm not a big baseball fan, but I absolutely loved this show.

Hey, Ren has names for his attacks; names such as screwball, or curveball. Oh yeah, and fastball. 0=)

I feel no passion on this names. They're too simple and heartless! But it's a start nonetheless.

I want to finish with this random comment:
Try to catch this ball!

In the prince of tennis, there was a shot that literally went back in time, created the universe, became a meteor, killed the dinosaurs, and finally came back to reality and scored the point.

I Fail to see how that couldn't be parody.

I also fail to see how I could watch any sports anime without it. :|

I suppose this is proof positive that tastes can differ so vastly. That's precisely what I dislike about most sports anime; the fact that they're little more than shonen fighting shows with a sports paint job.
