I am a big time gaming nerd if you didn't notice but I want you guys to maybe chat with me while I play some new school and old school games.

I wonder if this is a Backyard Baseball first. A big shot from Ernie that bounced off the head of the right fielder and over the fence for a homerun!

BogusMeatFactory - Home Run off the head

Watch BogusMeatFactory's clip titled "Home Run off the head"

Twitch

the #SeattleMariners have decapitated the #ChicagoWhiteSox 32-4 in a 6-inning slaughter (in Backyard Baseball 2003)

HIGHLIGHTS:
2nd baseman Achmed Khan shatters the #MLB record with an 806ft dinger over the left field road barrier

Kiesha Phillips lead the team with 4 HRs, but the entire roster batted well.

Even in a video game, the #WhiteSox are trash as the #Mariners bat around the order in two consecutive, two-digit run innings.

Just finished Backyard Baseball 2001. Recommended!

Although built for kids first and foremost, Backyard Baseball has enough stats, strategy, humor, and silliness to entertain adults as well, especially on increased difficulty levels. Two decades later, the inclusion of players and teams from the era serves to engage adults with nostalgia, as players like Sammy Sosa and Barry Bonds play alongside teams like the Montreal Expos.
