The Story Behind Frank Thomas Big Hurt Baseball
Frank Thomas's animations in the game were created from several days of motion capture filming Thomas at Acclaim's in-house studio during Spring 1995. Frank Thomas Big Hurt Baseball is a multiplatform baseball simulation game that was licensed by the Major League Baseball Players Association, featuring the likeness, motion captured movements, and "Big Hurt" branding of player Frank Thomas. All the teams, statistics, and players are meant to simulate the 1995 Major League Baseball season.
Acclaim released a successor to the game also featuring Thomas and actual major league teams, All-Star Baseball '97 featuring Frank Thomas. A conversion of the game was in development for the Atari Jaguar CD after Atari Corporation and Acclaim announced their partnership in March 1995 that included plans to release three titles for the system, including Frank Thomas Big Hurt Baseball. The port was originally slated to be released around the fourth quarter of 1995 and was later slated for an April/Q2 1996 release, but work on the port was discontinued sometime in 1995 and was never released.

Why Players Still Load It Up
Next Generations brief review of the Super NES version stated, "Combing simulation aspects with a traditional baseball game, Frank Thomas' Big Hurt Baseball shows signs of innovative but flawed thinking. Rob Allsetter of the British Sega Saturn Magazine chiefly commented on baseball's lack of mass appeal in Britain, and argued that though Big Hurt is good by the standards of a baseball video game it would only appeal to those who are fans of the sport. Every swing of the bat sounds like a skier slushing down the slopes." They were much more approving of the Game Gear version, saying it "offer smooth gameplay and excellent control along with such options as Season and All Star games."
When the ball is on its way, it gets lost in the green background. In October 2018, the game's rights were acquired by Canadian production company Liquid Media Group along with other titles originally owned by Acclaim Entertainment. The reviewer called the graphics "extraordinary", while his criticisms included the somewhat difficult interface and the delay in the batting controls.
