Screaming Line Drive: The power-up last about two uses and appears more frequently.
Players use an aluminum bat to increase the chances to hit a home run.
Aluminum Power: This power-up is the most valued and can disappear after one or no tries when in use.
In addition to the "crazy pitches," a strikeout may also award the player "More Juice," a full energy recharge for the pitcher that can be used when the player sees fit to use it. These pitches consume much more energy and causes the strike zone to expand, so most of the pitches given are never used consecutively. In addition to these batting power-ups, pitching power-ups, or "crazy pitches," also progressively appear, though they are much more frequent and in number, occurring whenever the player strikes an opponent out. Starting from Backyard Baseball 2001, the power ups were awarded after a hit off a "crazy pitch" and when the player turned a double play or triple play on defense. In the original Backyard Baseball, these batting power-ups appeared when the player got a hit when the computer used a "crazy pitch" (see below). Sometimes accompanying the four standard batting modes (Power, Line Drive, Grounder and Bunt), some beneficial power-ups appear. The game has also been noted for its diversity (gender, race) of characters, both in ratio of white to non-white and male to female, as well as skill level and the distribution of the best characters. Pablo Sanchez, one of the playable characters in the game, has been regarded as one of the strongest characters in video game history. In 2013, The Evergreen Group acquired the intellectual property from Atari. This game has various playable modes, they include: Single Game, Batting Practice, Spectator, and Season Game. In the different installments, a player could play an exhibition game or a 14, 16 or 32 game season (different versions vary) followed by the "Backyard Baseball League" playoffs, which contains the American League and National League divisional series, the AL and NL championship series and finally the "Backyard Baseball World Series". In Backyard Baseball, players take a managerial role by creating a team of different players to compete against opponents. As the game progresses, there are some professionals that become available or "unlockable" including Randy Johnson, Derek Jeter, and Mike Piazza. Some of the professional players that were available included Chipper Jones, Frank Thomas, Alex Rodriguez, Alfonso Soriano, Ichiro Suzuki, Sammy Sosa, Jim Thome, Albert Pujols, Nomar Garciaparra, Ken Griffey Jr., and Barry Bonds. Over the years, the idea of "Pro players as kids" became popular, and the original statistics and looks of the players changed. The original game consisted of 30 neighborhood kids from which the gamer could choose to play.
