Backyard Baseball '97 Now on Mobile!

Step back into your childhood with the newly released Backyard Baseball ’97 on Android, brought to you by Playground Productions. This delightful throwback captures the essence of the original game that many of us enjoyed on our old-school computers. If you ever dreamed of hitting home runs and playing with your favorite characters, this game is your ticket to nostalgia.

Rediscover the Joy of the Original Backyard Baseball ’97!

The mobile version of Backyard Baseball ’97 retains the charm that made it a beloved classic in 1997. You'll have the chance to play with a roster of 30 characters, including the iconic Pablo Sanchez, who remains the MVP among these pint-sized athletes!

Beyond just hitting baseballs, the game lets you do so with flair and fun power-ups. Unleash fireball pitches, activate super strength, and more to outsmart your opponents on the field.

What makes Backyard Baseball ’97 particularly engaging is its diverse range of game modes. Jump right into action with the random pick-up mode, or plan your moves in the single game mode. For a deeper experience, guide your team through a 14-game season, striving for victory in the BBL playoffs and the prestigious Ultra Grand Championship of the Universe Series. And if you need to sharpen your skills, there's a batting practice mode where you can take swings against the formidable Mr. Clanky.

Touch Base!

Backyard Baseball ’97 distinguishes itself from typical baseball games with its unique blend of professional and little league rules. You can bunt, tag up, and steal bases, but forget about leading off or dealing with injuries. The game strikes a balance between simplicity and strategic depth, making it accessible yet engaging. There’s also a T-ball mode for those who just want to enjoy the game without the pressure of competition.

Interestingly, Playground Productions didn’t have access to the original source code, yet they’ve successfully adapted the game to feel smooth and responsive on modern devices. The combination of quirky characters, straightforward controls, and the essence of backyard sports makes Backyard Baseball ’97 a must-try!

You can grab Backyard Baseball ’97 on the Google Play Store for just $4.99.
