Open trash. Find earlier ipa file. Drag it out of trash. Drag into iTunes. Sync.

Hmmmm. Then see if the earlier version of the app is still in itunes. If it is, delete the app from your iphone and sync with itunes. If the version in itunes is the latest version, then follow my earlier post.
OK, just checked the App Store from iTunes, and it is showing the latest version.
So I checked my Recycle Bin, and there are a few .ipa files in there, but not for the Baseball Superstars 2009 app.
Checked the My Documents\My Music\iTunes\Mobile Applications folder and see a bunch of .ipa files, but not for Baseball Superstars 2009. So I guess that means I never did a sync since I bought it. Darn.

If you synced the old version it would be in your Mobile Applications folder, so at least you know for next time that you should sync your iPhone every time you purchase an app (before you update it) just in case you want to revert to the older version for whatever reason.
Time Machine. All of your earlier versions are automatically backed up. Works like a charm!
Clearly that doesn't help the OP in this situation as he never synced the app w/ iTunes before updating.. Did you even read the thread? It was only 6 posts long.

The OP said he found some .ipa's in the Recycle Bin and that he 'guesses he hadn't synced' because he didn't see that one among them. Just going out on a limb here, but it sounded like there was a fair amount of uncertainty there. But thanks for for going out of your way to make a meaningful contribution to the thread. I don't know what we'd do if there weren't self-appointed forum police like youself to talk down to the rest of us peons who stupidly try to help.

Maybe if you delete the app that you just updated, sync it back to your computer and transfer over the old app stored there? Thats if you haven't sync'd in between

Okay, even if he did sync before, how would he get it back? Time Machine exists on OS-X/Mac. He has a PC seeing as how he checked his Recycle Bin and his My Documents\My Music\iTunes\Mobile Applications
Already pointed out. Or did you not bother reading the thread? It's still rather short, you know.
I did read the thread. lol, That's how I got the part about him talking about Time Machine and the 'argument' about syncing.
Still, I seem to have skipped that one post. Sorry
