Super Bases Loaded 3: License to Steal (known in Japan as Super Moero!! Pro Yakyuu) is a Super Nintendo Entertainment System baseball game. It is the seventh overall installment of the Bases Loaded series, and the third installment of the secondary series for the Super NES. Super Bases Loaded 3 was licensed by the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) and uses real MLB players (the first game in the Bases Loaded series to use actual player names), but it was not licensed by Major League Baseball itself (MLB); all stats and attributes reflected the 1994 MLB season. All 28 U.S. cities that had an MLB team at the time are listed but team names and logos are not given. No real stadiums are used and the World Series is renamed the championship tournament.
