Best backyard baseball team

Feb 14, 2013 Backyard Baseball day continues! The MLB already picked their team and now the Backyard kids will pick theirs. The pros did it by cutting players? Puh-lease, that’s not the way we do it in the Backyard we pick the best and then figure it out. Our number one pick? It’s obvious: The Secret Weapon (not really a secret anymore): Pablo Sanchez!

Backyard Baseball day continues! The MLB already picked their team and now the Backyard kids will pick theirs.

The pros did it by cutting players? Puh-lease, that’s not the way we do it in the Backyard we pick the best and then figure it out.

Our number one pick? It’s obvious: The Secret Weapon (not really a secret anymore): Pablo Sanchez!

He’s our captain no matter what language he does or doesn’t speak.

We will need grab some more heavy hitters so: Axeman Achmed Kahn, M.V.P. Jocinda Smith and Nugget Mikey Thomas.

Now we need some pitching and the best pitcher we know is Sugar Pop: Angela Delvecchio.

We heard Frank Thomas will be catching! We’re having stolen bases so let’s get some wheels: Wheelie Pete Wheeler and Lulu Luanne Lui

Achmed wants to play with his brother Amir (who might be a good pitcher but mostly will be using him in the infield)

Our last pick will be the very well-rounded (no pun intended, come on it’s Backyard Sports don’t make it evil) Flash Keisha Phillips

Angela Delvecchio (ultra-thrilled we didn’t pick her brother Tony) is pitching, Pablo is at short and can make a relief appearance (don’t believe that BS 5 rating for his pitching). Lulu will play second, Axeman is at third and we’ll put the MVP at first.

Let’s put Flash in center, Amir in left, Wheelie in right and Nugget behind the plate… mmmm, Nugget

The batting order:
Luanne Lui 2B: Speed first
Pete Wheeler RF: More speed but Wheelie is a better hitter than Lulu
Pablo Sanchez SS: Try to stop the Secret Weapon
Keisha Phillips CF: Speed and a good bat should protect Pablo
Achmed Kahn 3B: The Axeman should protect be awesome with his brother
Jocinda Smith 1B: Chanting M-V-P
Mikey Thomas C: Murder’s row continues
Amir Kahn LF: Much better with his brother
Angela Delvecchio P: Sugar Pop don’t care

This should be a game for the ages!

Game Review

Backyard Baseball is a baseball game created by Humongous Entertainment and released for Windows and Macintosh in 1997.

Pablo Sanchez Comedian

It's the first of a long series of successful titles, the last one of which was released in 2015.

The idea of a videogame about kids playing baseball was developed by Nick Mirkovich, illustrator and animator. He presented the concept to the legendary Ron Gilbert (not only the creator of Maniac Mansion but also the founder of Humongous), and after a while, he approved. The design team was made of Mirkovich, Richard Moe (a programmer), and Mark Peyser (a graphic designer).

The game created by the trio was brilliant and totally unique. High-quality hand-drawn cartoon graphics, fluid animations, excellent gameplay, and, most importantly, a fantastic character design. The baseball players, 30 kids, were designed with their own look&feel and personality. Vaguely inspired to the Peanuts, they are also a great example of diversity: 15 boys, 15 girls, all in different sizes, colors, and races.

Somehow the kids remind me of movies such as The Bad News Bears (an amazing 1976 movie with Walter Matthau), and 'The sandlot', except that in the game, there are many more girls :)

Anyway, the kids in Backyard Baseball are so cute it's impossible not to fall in love with them. For each one of them, composer Rhett Mathis created a specific theme song. This was probably one of the most memorable elements of this game.

As you could expect from a sports sim, there are also top players. In this case, the real star is a short kid called Pablo Sanchez. Even if he looks like the worst player, he is the greatest one, and everybody loved him. Believe it or not, Pablo Sanchez is one of the most beloved videogames characters ever created.

Curiously, Backyard Baseball was developed using the SCUMM game engine, the same used in many graphics adventure. It's a great example of the flexibility of the engine invented by Ron Gilbert. Apparently, creating a sports sim was totally possible. The basic mechanic is indeed quite simple. Still, the game supports different fields, tournaments, different stats for the players, and even a sort of Mario Kart-style power-ups.

Backyard Baseball is simply one of the most popular videogames ever created. So what are you waiting for? Download and play it!
