Unused Graphics

Unused graphics for Dugout, the Little League World Series mascot, who would have appeared on the right side of the title screen. He was replaced with an ordinary human boy in the final game for unknown (but likely licensing-related) reasons. As the original sprite layout data and palettes no longer exist, the coloring shown here is a guess, though it's worth noting that only one color had to be changed to make the final palettes work here.

The "1989" below the character seems to indicate that the game experienced a bit of a delay.
