Rediscover the Joy of the Original Backyard Baseball '97!

The mobile version captures the essence that made the 1997 original so beloved. You'll find a roster of 30 characters, with the iconic Pablo Sanchez leading the pack as the ultimate kid athlete.

Beyond just hitting home runs, the game emphasizes flair and fun with power-ups like fireball pitches and super strength to outplay your rivals.

One of the highlights of Backyard Baseball '97 is its diverse range of game modes. Jump into a spontaneous match with the random pick-up mode or get tactical with the single game mode.

For a more immersive experience, guide your team through a 14-game season, vying for a spot in the BBL playoffs and the prestigious Ultra Grand Championship of the Universe Series. And if you need to sharpen your skills, there's a batting practice mode where you can face off against the infamous Mr. Clanky.

Touch Base!

What sets Backyard Baseball '97 apart from typical baseball games is its unique blend of professional and little league rules. You can bunt, tag up, and steal bases, but don't expect to lead off or worry about injuries.

The game maintains a user-friendly approach while offering strategic depth. There's also a T-ball mode for casual fun without the pressure of competition.

Interestingly, Playground Productions recreated the game without access to the original source code, yet they've managed to deliver a smooth and responsive experience on modern devices.
