What is Backyard Baseball?

Humongous doesn’t try to slide any math, reading, or science lessons in between pitches at this just-for-fun baseball garne. You simply choose a diamond, pick your team, and play ball. The challenge lies in selecting a powerhouse squad — each quirky kid bats, runs, hits, and fields differently. You control when thby move, just not how they move.
