MLB 07: The Show, produced by Sony Studios, is a baseball video game for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2 and PSP. It is the only first-party MLB-licensed video game for the 2007 season and the only baseball game available for the PlayStation systems aside from Major League Baseball 2K7. For this reason, it is likely to draw attention to the brand and franchise, while the top selling baseball video game developers of previous seasons, notably EA Sports, are forced to devise creative alternatives.
The PlayStation 2 and the PSP versions of this game were released on February 27, 2007 while the PlayStation 3 version was released on May 15, 2007. New York Mets all-star third baseman David Wright is featured on the cover. The three-man team of announcers once again includes Rex Hudler, Matt Vasgersian and Dave Campbell. The title include "Road to the Show", a roleplaying aspect in which players must complete specific goals in specific situations, and all the goals are on offense if you play everything but
pitcher.

Bugs and Glitches
- In a season, if a player has an ERA over 100.00, no matter what their ERA will be listed as 99.00. However, they have the proper ERA when you look at the player's career stats page.
- When you call a player up from Double A to Triple A and then send the player back down to Double A, the player's Double A stats will be reset to 0. This also happens when you send a player from Triple A to Double A back to Triple A. This also happens in the Road to the Show mode.
- Sometimes the bullpen dialog will lead to an endless loop wherein you are asked to switch out the other team's pitcher.
- When it is one out in the top of 7th at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Matt Vasgersian will refer to the game (just an ordinary regular season game), as the 2008 All Star Game at Yankee Stadium.
