Backyard Baseball ’97 has made its way to Android, brought to you by Playground Productions. As the name implies, it's a delightful trip down memory lane that's bound to bring joy and nostalgia. If you ever spent hours trying to hit home runs on your old PC, you're in for a treat with this game.

Rediscover the Joy of the Original Backyard Baseball ’97!

The newly released mobile version captures the same enchanting charm that made it a beloved classic back in 1997. You'll have a roster of 30 characters at your fingertips, including the iconic Pablo Sanchez, who's practically the ultimate kid athlete!

Beyond just hitting baseballs, the game encourages you to do so with flair, using power-ups like fireball pitches and super strength to outwit your rivals.

One of the highlights of Backyard Baseball ’97 is its diverse array of game modes. Jump right into action with the random pick-up mode, or engage in more tactical play with the single game mode.

For those who love a challenge, you can guide your team through a 14-game season, aiming for the BBL playoffs and the prestigious Ultra Grand Championship of the Universe Series. There's also a batting practice mode where you can hone your skills against Mr. Clanky.

Touch Base!

What sets Backyard Baseball ’97 apart from your average baseball game is 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 strategy, making it accessible yet engaging. There's even a T-ball mode for those who want to play casually without the pressure of competition.

Here's an interesting tidbit: Playground Productions didn't have access to the original source code, yet they've successfully adapted the game to feel smooth and responsive on today's devices. The mix of quirky characters, straightforward controls, and the essence of backyard sports make it a must-try!

You can grab the game on the Google Play Store for just $4.99.
