 There are a limited number of effects and , aside from brief ballpark jingles , there is no real background music present during the game . For example , the charge fanfare is played at random points and the introductory screen begins with a different baseball tune while the player is loading up and selecting his team , along with a home run fanfare . Generic sound effects include the bat cracking upon contact with the ball , the sound of the ball flying through the air during a pitch , bouncing and throwing effects , and a stream of crowd noises .
