Stolen from elsewhere on the 'net:

Easier Home Runs
Start a season and select any team. Choose your settings and start the game. When you bat, wait for the pitch and use the aggressive swing (C button) to drive the ball in the same direction you bat. If right, left field, if left, right field. If you did this you should get a homerun if you don't, keep trying.

Easy Way to Steal Bases
Here is an easy way to steal a base in Triple Play Gold. First in a one player game, get on base, then switch the control so the yellow star is under the base runner. Push the D-pad to the direction of the base. This will give you a big lead. The pitcher will throw it to the base that you were already on. If your runner is fast enough, you will make it by a mile. Works for all bases and even HOME!

Thanks, but I've seen that, I need to know the basics, not the strategy.

If there's anyone who has a copy of the manual for this game, I would love a scan of it. Anyone
