To explain Nan and why she's so good at pitching: Certain kids are clones of the MLB pros. There is one female clone for each pro player in the game. Nan Porter is the clone of the Phillies' pro, in 03, that means she's got the exact same attributes as Jimmy Rollins, but here, she has the same attributes as the Phillies' pro, Curt Schilling.

I spent countless hours on this one as a kid. This is the best version no doubt.

I love how wholesome these vids are, no swearing, complimenting players. This game looks hilarious, I love how the kids make random errors too, makes things a lot more chaotic

[FromDuskTilDom]

Personally, I love the 2001 version the most. I'm excited to see how where this series goes

Nte: says the pirates stink
Me a pirate fan: ya don't say

"Kenny isn't gonna strike em out but he is gonna get grounders" - What I'm hearing is that Kenny is the Greg Maddux of Backyard Baseball

[joshh]

Here I am, a grown man, watching another grown man play a children’s game from the early 2000’s. Where did I go right in life

[harryasmith]

The Pirates being beaten by a team of children is surprisingly realistic.

I love that you have your crew of players from the last game, great continuity. This series rules. Just spent a straight hour and a half binging these videos. Couldn’t get the smile off my face.

drew i saw your tweet about content creating feeling like a chore. i just wanted to say i hope you feel better soon and if you need to take a break you can but i get sponsors probably won't let you

Every time I hear drewski say “hale yeah” it makes me so happy

[BoomRandom]

I'm glad see someone playing the backyard games, at all. Also, I like to think Kenny could easily be your closer. JT leads it off, Kenny stepping up late into the game.

This is the one I put the most time into as a kid I absolutely loved this game! Good to see you back Drew I can't imagine the pressure you feel at your level of content creation just know that we're all here because we like you and the content you provide. If you're able to take a break please do so 💙

I only played this version of the game as a kid and had BARLEY any knowledge of actual players outside of KG Jr, Mark Mcguire and Sammy Sosa due to the home run race. However the kid I always had on my team was Randy Johnson. He was just the best pitcher in the game IMO. Only several years later did I discover he was the same guy who obliterated a bird mid-flight with one of his pitches. What a wild revelation that was.

[babyyodaguy]

I love how this is a kids game. That has jokes meant for children. And I’m still laughing at all of them

[chiefsfan]

Omg i used to play this game religiously throughout my childhood lol all the backyard games tbh, u guys remember the music players had in the background while u selecting them ?

[AlexDelulu]

Gotta give a like because 2001 BYB was my jam! Can't wait to see more of this year!

[patrickkanas]

Fun fact about Pablo, he does speak English. I saw a short that says that if you let Pablo's theme music play through in the selection menu of the original game and click on his face he speaks english
