Still, there’s no better choice at the top of the order. The only real downside here is Pete does have some swing and miss in his game, as being a free-swinger with an obvious learning disability doesn’t often lead to consistent contact.
You could play two overweight clunkers at the corners and Pete’s raw speed would more than make up for the lost ground in the gaps. The kid can absolutely go get it out in center as well. He’s just as likely to go deep as he is to squib a single and steal his way to third two pitches later. A sprinter with an awkward-yet-powerful left-handed stroke, Pete Wheeler is the obvious choice to leadoff your Backyard batting order. I could likely rattle off at least 80% of the fictional characters from memory, but putting them in the perfect lineup, aside from a few obvious choices, was a little more difficult.
While Backyard Football also took up a ton of my time in my youth, Backyard Baseball is what kept me in front of a bright heavy glass screen for multi-hour marathons of gaming. I highly recommend checking it out, as it brought back all the fond nostalgia I have for the Backyard sports series.Īlmost everyone I know (aside from Will deFries apparently) shares that fond nostalgia for the cartoon sports games about extremely likable multi-cultural little leaguers giving it their go at every major sport you can think of. Yesterday The Ringer ran a hell of a piece on the cult classic computer game Backyard Baseball and its incredible legacy.
