Got this fun home run a little bit ago. I knew I made a good choice of favorite backyard kid when I was a kid!

I randomized a roster for BYK players, after every season I'll eliminate the worst performing player according to the community. For an added twist I'm not revealing any player's names until after they're eliminated, so for the sake of comments the first player in the screenshot order is "player one", the second is "player two", so on so forth. Simply comment which player in the lineup you think is the worst, and vote for other comments who mention that player. Whichever player receives the most combined upvotes after 24 hours will be replaced with another random Backyard Kid, and the cycle repeats until we find the (theoretically) perfect Backyard Baseball team.

Just for added context, I'm playing this on hard difficultly with pitch/swing location off and errors on. I try to play to each player's strengths, and I don't use batting powerups so all of the batting statistics are authentic. My default pitcher will always be the player with the best pitching stats, which this year was Player 3.

The order of the players in the screenshot is based on the lineup for the last game of the season and has nothing to do with preceding seasons, so don't assume the same player will be in the same lineup slot season to season for the sake of voting.

I know that some players are buffed/debuffed based on factors such as the home stadium or other players on the roster. I randomize the home field every season (this season was played at Playground Commons), and I'm taking a hands-off approach to the roster and letting the randomizer do the work for me. If a player is buffed/debuffed because of who else is on the team, so it goes.

Thus far Gretchen Hasselhoff and Ronny Dobbs have been voted out of the lineup, who will join them this time?

Also how was this a home run all it did was hit the middle part of the back fence it did not even go over

I saw this "Win Prizes" icon on the mobile version of football 99 anyone know what that is all about or more details on what the prizes are?

Hy there!
This is my FIRST EVER time booting up Backyard Baseball '97.
I chose this team. Any suggestions on team setup or batting order?

Speaking of which, who is the weakest hitter that you had ever hit a homerun with?

First time ever doing this in ByB01 hell yeah!
