To get into the swing of things, choose a batter and face Mr. Clanky for some batting practice. This is where you’ll learn just when to click to make your chosen batter hit the ball!

THE GOAT RETURNS
Play with the legend himself, Pablo Sanchez. Build a roster from a cast of 30 hilarious child athletes and 28 legendary pros that made Backyard Baseball ‘01 a sports classic. Returning MLB players include Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Cal Ripken Jr., Sammy Sosa, Mike Piazza, Randy Johnson, Nomar Garciaparra, Jeff Bagwell, Jason Giambi, Chipper Jones, Jeromy Burnitz, Mark McGwire, Shawn Green, Vladimir Guerrero, Kenny Lofton, Jason Kendall, Barry Larkin, Marty Cordova, Mo Vaughn, Raul Mondesi, Curt Schilling, Alex Gonzalez, Juan Gonzalez, Larry Walker, Carlos Beltran, Tony Gwynn, Ivan Rodriguez, and Jose Canseco.

Game Modes include:
Choose from three modes of play (Easy Mode, Medium Mode, Hard Mode)
Random Pick-up: A quick way to jump right in! The computer chooses a random team for you and itself and the game starts immediately.
Single Game: You take turns with the computer choosing players from a random pool of characters.
Season: You pick your home field, create a team, and manage the team through a 14 game series. The opposing teams are computer generated. At the end of the season, the best two teams advance to the BBL playoffs (best of 3). If you keep winning, you’ll compete in the Super Entire Nation Tournament and Ultra Grand Championship of the Universe Series!

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
At our core, we are fans first – not just of video games, but of the Backyard Sports franchise. Fans have asked for accessible and legal ways to play their original Backyard titles for years, and we are excited to deliver.

Without having access to the source code, there are hard limitations on the experience we can create. As an example, we can’t use the original 32bit code to support modern macOS, as even with an incredibly clever wrapper, macOS can’t execute the binaries.

Backyard Baseball ‘01 runs well, looks better than ever, includes new bonus features to test your mettle, and creates a new installation for digital preservation within the Backyard Sports catalog that allows the next generation of fans to fall in love with the game.

For the love of GAWD will someone please make a 64 bit version of Baseball Superstars 2009 version. I'll gladly pay for it. All these other baseball games are hot garbage. I guess until that happens I'm stuck with zero baseball options on android and only Retro Bowl football (which is fantastic in case you don't have it).

It's unfortunate you get one little box to tap in order to swing other than that it's pretty difficult lol

Nostalgic and fun, but issues early on

I'm so excited to have this game available on mobile. When I first started playing, everything was great. The last few days, an error has rendered the game unplayable. It says out of array pointers and mentions a SCUMMERROR. I hope to have this issue fixed soon, because it's been a ton of fun.
