[sbaeagles15]

You mean the wall in left field is low.

[wilsonkao17]

[wilsonkao17]

my childhood

[hellomynameis02864]

i have the game but i am running in an x64 computer =(

[legoking831]

@hellomynameis02864 You mean 64-bit? Fear not! Copy the game files to your hard drive, delete BASEBALL.EXE, and rename BASEBALL.W32 to BASEBALL.EXE. Voila, you now have a perfectly executable 32-bit file!

[hellomynameis02864]

@legoking831 yaaaaaaaahhhhh baby!

[chimpsftw]

aah this game brings back so many memories :)))

[SchindlerElevator902]

I have this orignal Disk on PC

[Jaycutler129]

[legoking831]

@Jaycutler129 1997.

[TheJohnny112988]

bro its a kids game not for adults

[melaurenbee]

OMG i picked PABLO everytime! and i loved separating the twins.

[12downwardspiral]

Get Ronnie off first, JESUS... his fielding is terrible.

Pick Keisha next time and put her on first.

[JmariolinkJ]

0:35 The computer picked Ashley! Quick! Be an asshole and pick Sidney!

[EOneNine]

Nostalgaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

[DouggStoppable]

We want a batter not a broken ladder !

[GurahkWeavile]

Backyard Sports is till my favorite sports series. Cuz it's fun, addicting, and it's always unpredictable every game.....elements most game series lack! Especially EA Sports games!

[MalkanorBek]

Haha I played this game at a friend's house all the time!

[OTooleBoy213]

Because of you I bought this for Christmas haha.

[UTubeSponge5601]

Poor Ronnie....



[Lugrashio]

this takes me back to second grade. oh my god

[MCLR1990]

8:15 "The Gooch likes that...yeahhh gimme some more of that..."

Mmmmm....smell that, Jesse?

[jraayal]

VINNY THE GUUCH

[baked4211]

where did you buy it?

[dsidaj]

You are truly terrible at this game. You suck at hitting, fileding and pitching. Zero knowledge of the game. Drafting was super shitty. I'm sorry but not taking keisha phillips, big mistake. That is all.

[legoking831]

@dsidaj Wow this comment has fail written all over it. Where do I begin? First off, if I have zero knowledge on this game, how did this end up being a blowout? Also, not picking Keisha = crappy drafting? Are you stupid? Are you telling me I shouldn't go for Pablo? Also, I was going to pick her after Kenny, but the computer got her instead. I usually pick her, but it ended up not happening. If you want to see a game I suck at, try Command and Conquer >_>

[legoking831]

@dsidaj Actually, I just realized I've had generic comments insulting me on my skill in every video for Backyard Sports that I happen to not be Keisha Phillips in. Even in the Backyard Football demo, where you can't even pick her. I'm now convinced that they all came from you, and you think that not picking your favorite player means that he/she shows zero knowledge of it. That's pretty depressing.

[dsidaj]

@legoking831 you are an idiot. why the fuck would I go to all of your videos and write shit. I just happened to watch this one and saw you sucked. KEisha phillips should have been drafted second as she is the second best in the game. and every game is blowout when you play the computer. it is supposed hard for 5 year olds not 16 year olds. congrats on your 506 videos

[legoking831]

@dsidaj Oh my gosh you have poor judgement. I didn't pick your butt-buddy so I automatically sucked more than anything else? Geez, just because I don't play identically to you doesn't mean I possess no knowledge on this game. Plus, like you said, it's a kid's game. Do you really think I care if I'm not good at this game? As long as I win, it really doesn't mean much.

[NoobKiller664]

@dsidaj dude your a Fagit

[GurahkWeavile]

@dsidaj Hey, I usually don't pick Kiesha for my teams, and I do just fine! So 'HA!' to you, dumbass!

[MattVariety]

@GurahkWeavile You DO understand this video is for gameplay and nostalgic appliances, right? I mean, it's a children's game! Just, stop complaining and enjoy your childhood casserole.

[kim2547b]

I have the original cd, too, but I can't play it anymore because it doens't work on my Dell computer and I want a computer that can play old games like the original backyard baseball.

[tanerooo93]

i KNEW your cursor was heading towards pablo sanchez for first pick.

[xiaopengyou13]

NOSTALGIA OVERLOAD!

[jeenyus720]

6:51 "We want a batter, not a fucking latter"

[WhackaMack]

i used to crack home runs with pablo....this game was so awesome...

[brandonblue9]

well i have BFL 2002 for game cube! i play on the wii. T__T

[ninjapickles1313]

9:55 - shit's gonna go down

[SkrillexB4W]

Angela delvechio ? Pauly d sister? Haha

[pedizzle77]

this game was the shit

[flyguyify]

I LOVED THIS GAME. I played this non-stop about 10 years ago. Now I'm in my early 20s and in college. Thumbs up for this game!

[isabella8885]

totally love this game

[sTalnaker13]

Pablo Sanchez is the GOAT

[MisterChisuun]

Ronny Dobbs crying after a strikeout is more tragic in the 2003 edition, mainly because it sounds more like a legit crying child.

First time I heard it, my face made the closest expression it could to "D:"

[vinicioayala]

Have you ever thrown a no hitter or a perfect game

[legoking831]

@vinicioayala If I have, I've never cared to notice.

[DreamzTonight]

Dude please help me how do you play these games? if i order it from ebay will i be able to play these games?

[legoking831]

@Strekenyzen Mr. Clanky.

[airjordan60]

I used to play this game all the time. My team is the Blue Giants with Jocinda Smith, Pablo Sanchez, Pete Wheeler, Keisha Phillips, Marky Dubois, Achmed Khan, Amir Khan, Demetri Petrovich, and Tony Delvecchio

[mickels121]

@airjordan60 ya dude i used to play this alot too i loved this game 

[heypeople123]

what version of this game is this? 2003?

[legoking831]

@heypeople123 No, this is the original with no year in the title.

[ineedfood5478]

20 years old and i just replayed this game again...epic classic

[Yousufbholat95]

im 16 and i still have all the games but i have a newer computer and they wont work anymore :(

[ChunkyBuiscuit]

man its been so long since ive played the original backyard baseball. i play 2001 version bought legit. im 17 bro lol

[ernestryles]

i had this and backyard baseball 2001. They took up a ton of time in my younger days. I'm 18 now.

[cawcawcawkid]

got this game i a book order in kindergarten. Found the disc yesterday. I'm 16 now lol.

[JuniorAdventurer]

I'll bet that Ron Gilbert had no idea when he created the SCUMM engine in 1987 that ten years later there would be a baseball sim using it, not to mention a scrolling shooter, a Qbert clone, and a conveyor belt puzzle game.

[legoking831]

@JuniorAdventurer You'd be correct. To quote one of Ron's articles:

"While at Humongous Entertainment we did some amazing things with SCUMM (Backyard (Base|Foot|Basket)ball) that it was never designed to do (and probably illegal in several southern states)"

The scary thing is that this was written only a month before HE shut down.

[JuniorAdventurer]

@legoking831 Jeez, one of these days I've got to bookmark any HE-related articles I can find. I already saw one that hinted about an animated series of some sort being in the works at some point, but I'm sure there are more interesting tidbits somewhere in the web.

[legoking831]

@JuniorAdventurer Oh, you mean Lancit Media's planned TV series? There were several articles mentioning that, but the series never came to be. I did recall on one of brends11's old music uploads, a commenter said something about it, and even said he had a few episodes recorded on VHS. He may have lived in the only country that actually got it.

[JuniorAdventurer]

@legoking831 Hmm, I wonder if it has something to do with the Dutch Freddi Fish music video then?

[St3v3Patrio7]

Pablo Sanchez was absolutely broken.

[wgbaseball2]

I used to spend hours playing this game as a kid.

[legoking831]

@TheNyoronOfPwnage You're just a week older than I am! I got this game around 2001 when my neighbors had an extra copy they didn't need, and they gave it to me. My disk was given away when I thought I didn't want it anymore. I got the exact same feeling as you. I rushed back to Amazon and picked up another copy, as with pretty much all the other kids' games I owned. And here I was, uploading it, sharing it to the people who may have made that mistake or something similar to it like you.

[ButlerLewis]

I'm 21 and this is all I play.

[Beast222100]

Long but I liked it

[1AceMoneyMaker]

i got this game in a bowel of cereal once

[davidlee110]

51:20

FAIL!

[legoking831]

@davidlee110 I did that on purpose, actually. I just wanted to finish the game.

[davidlee110]

@legoking831 LMAO

[GodzofGame]

I got this game in a box of cherios, it OWNS. I also own BB 2005 which is better, but this game is SO much more challenging and unique.

[legoking831]

@GodzofGame This one has that old Humongous Entertainment charm that the early 3D titles just don't capture. I always liked this one the best. The pros were a complete gimmick in the later titles because they were over-powered for one, and they had little personality. It did seem like they got better with it later on though.

[VVaIrus]

i miss this game so much :(

[mmgarza1997]

the new backyard baseball when you make a home run a airplane flies threw but i like the blimp its more better on the old backyard baseball

[ajpall1]

@mmgarza1997 Learn your grammar you dumb retard

[mmgarza1997]

@ajpall1 i aint no retard

[mmgarza1997]

@ajpall1 im not a retard

[mmgarza1997]

is there an all star game in the old backyard mlb baseball.Because there's a all star game on the new backyard baseball

[mmgarza1997]

is the difficult easy medium or hard

[mmgarza1997]

backyard baseball with the mlb is better

[yodude800]

which version is this??? and how do you get it???

[legoking831]

@yodude800 It's the original. Buy it off eBay or Amazon.

[yodude800]

@legoking831 which is the original version like what year

[legoking831]

@yodude800 There is no year in the title. It's just called "Backyard Baseball". It was released in 1997.

[13tjv13]

@legoking831 pablos first homrun was to LEFT field not right champ

[DEMOLITIONZ27]

What is this game coming to

[DEMOLITIONZ27]

Angela gets a home run wat is this PGA

[DEMOLITIONZ27]

Pablo is the best

[mannybdht1]

well amir is on the mound today i was about to say now is a rock n' roll pitcher

player was awsome!!!!!!!!!!

[BlowMe1232]

Amazing ! Makes me feel old :( use to play this every day after school

[912falcons]

All MLB pitchers should have juice boxes beside them, and when the juice box runs out, it is time to throw a new pitcher out there. Just sayin'...

[ChereraTaguato]

good stuff adios beisbol!!!! Dale Pablo!!

[deadagain7]

this is hard??? you dont deserve pablo!!!

[legoking831]

@deadagain7 Somebody forgot this was a kid's game.

[deadagain7]

@legoking831 what ever i said on this video was my step brother.

[ffta707]

The originals where always the best. Baseball and football all the way. Soccer and basketball close behind. We played these as kids all the time. And they are still a blast.

[punchbuggy981]

Omg I miss this game!! Lol we want a batter not a broken latter

[ggman7117]

I freakin hated Sunny Day

[refillz]

hi...can any1 pls tell me where i can download the this game i have the 2003 ver...but i dnt like it...i wnt this version the original

[ItsTimothy]

i loved this game so much

[4F0R4]

how can i play this game on windows 7? Can anybody please help me? i need to play this gain for old times sake!

[Skeeball22]

I admit it, I'm turning 15 in a month and I still play this!! :D

[sepik121]

@Skeeball22 This game came out when you were 1 year old. Damn I feel old now.

[StickGuy566]

@legoking831 i was just wondering if you noticed that when you click a pitch the pitcher nods or shakes their head telling you they want a better pitch

[legoking831]

@StickGuy566 I never pay attention to that.

[Hondo20132]

@legoking831 I often say that they are usually wrong about the nodding. I happen to have Backyard Baseball 2003 though, and if you have a custom player pitching, their head never nods.

[StickGuy566]

@Hondo20132 yeah cause one time i clicked intetionall walk and he nodded

[Hondo20132]

Wow, I was never able to beat Backyard Baseball, neither this nor the 2003 version. Possibly because I found it way too long.

[giahungphan]

what do you think about the custom kid? (the kid with the question mark)

[legoking831]

@giahungphan This game doesn't have that feature. 

[matt2338]

at least you didn't choose Sandy Flats. That's the easiest one to get a home run or double.

[keepthebeat929]

Nicely done.

[keepthebeat929]

Nothing wrong with doing a video of this game, just because somebody else did. I'd do one myself if I still had this.

[Anthonyg3281]

I Have Backyard Baseball 2005

[Hondo20132]

16:07 I also notice that about the Khans.

[legoking831]

@Hondo20132 I actually did some further looking into this and it seems that only Amir improves when you put both Kahns on your team. Achmed never changes. I guess this is because Amir seems to really look up to his brother. Another weird thing, his pitching always deteriorates when they're on the same team. Weird.

[wiley1080]

I like how the team photo adjusts to the year. XD It's just funny seeing a game that was made in the 90's make it to 2011.

[JackoB716]

You know, there's a way to add that robotic pitcher to the playable players.

[legoking831]

@JackoB716 I already knew that. You play as him holding Shift and clicking on him in the clubhouse. I decided not to use him for this game. His name is Mr. Clanky by the way.

[JackoB716]

@legoking831

I understand about not using him, and I remember the name. But as you know, Mr. Clanky is great at pitching.

[TheLairOfRockwhales]

I remember this game. Never liked it as much as the soccer one.

[Hondo20132]

I got a copy of this version from one of those cereal box gimmicks. I don't like this version quite as much as the early-2000s versions since this was rather low-tech in comparison.

[legoking831]

@Hondo20132 I actually prefer this version because the pros are over-powered in Baseball 2001.

[Hondo20132]

@legoking831 The 2003 version doesn''t have quite as much pros as 2001, but they did add two (Ichiro and someone else).

[cubsbule213]

@Hondo20132 Troy Glaus was the other one
