neighborhood. Play pick-up games, practice batting, keep track of stats, compete
in single games or a whole season - you can even set the rules! Features all of
the realism and statistics of adult baseball games, but with simple controls
that even you can master.
You are provided with several options at the start of Backyard Baseball. You can
look in the trophy case for Hall of Fame information, click on the bulletin
board to start a season, look at the baseball cards for player information
or choose a filed to start a pick up game.
Game Modes include:
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

characters.
Season

teams are computer generated. At the end of the season the best two teams

(best of 3) and then the Ultra Grand World championship of the Universe Series
