The original Backyard Baseball is an all timer without question. But the 2001 edition is the best version of the game. Not just for adding kid versions of MLB players but most of all for increasing the stats to amounts out of 10. Which makes just about every kid playable somewhere in the lineup, rather than just whoever gets Pablo Sanchez wins.
And some of the MLB players have hilarious stats if you actually followed baseball in the 90s. Frank Thomas, who hit 521 home runs and never pitched an inning in his life, has a 7 in batting but a 10 in pitching. Curt Schilling and Randy Johnson both have the same batting stat as future hall of famer Carlos Beltran. As well as Alex Gonzalez. Oh yeah, Alex Gonzalez is the Marlins representative in this game and I'm actually not 100% sure which Alex Gonzalez it's supposed to be.
