Touch Base!

What sets Backyard Baseball '97 apart from typical baseball games is its unique blend of professional and little league rules.

For those less competitive, there's also a T-ball mode to enjoy casual play.

Interestingly, Playground Productions recreated the game without the original source code, yet managed to deliver a smooth and responsive experience on modern devices. The combination of quirky characters, easy-to-use controls, and the essence of backyard sports makes Backyard Baseball '97 a must-try.
