MLB The Show as a franchise dates back to 2006, when it debuted with MLB 06: The Show on PlayStation 2 and PSP.

But is it? Now may be as good a time as any. When world leaders gathered in Denver last weekend for the so-called Summit of the Eight, they got a faceful of American triumphalism. More than at any other time since the Marshall Plan era, the U.S. economy has become the world’s beau ideal - its champion of growth, fiscal responsibility and technological progress.
