Baseball for Windows - Ernie Harwell Broadcast Blast CD

Additional information from my copy of Maxis' Spring 1996 edition of their Software Toys Catalog (image sharpened due to blurriness of my phone's camera):

Based on the information presented here, I believe we can surmise that while the game would be ESA-protected by Maxis, it hasn't been protected since at least 2007; there appears to be no support for the game; and it appears to only be sold on Amazon.com. Could someone confirm this?

Well, according to Wikipedia, the game might be still supported:

In February, 2007 the APBA Game Company announced that they had acquired the rights to the Baseball for Windows code, and planned an upgrade to be released in the fall of 2008, featuring the voice of Pete Van Wieren, replacing the earlier editions' Ernie Harwell. Complications in game development, as well as errors in the code that had gone long unrepaired, delayed the release. As of November, 2011, the current release schedule has not been announced. The current version of the game runs on Windows 7 in 32 bit mode. For 64 bit versions of Windows 7 it requires Virtual Mode software. Some APBA players maintain computers with older versions of Windows solely for running the APBA software.

Also, the original developer (Miller Associates, Inc.) seems to still exist and be trying to release Baseball for Windows on Windows 7.
