DESCRIPTION

Designed after the casual backyard or sandlot "pick up" games played by kids of all ages, Backyard Baseball 2009 features controllable elements of pitching, batting, fielding, and running, and the ability to adjust difficulty levels between two teams. Players can choose to play a full season, complete with statistic tracking and team standings, or choose from a selection of quick mini-games. As in earlier editions in the series, Backyard Baseball 2009 features all 30 MLB teams and logos, as well as a dugout full of major league players depicted as kids — at least one from each team, including Albert Pujols, Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter, and this year's cover athlete, David Ortiz. ~ All Game Guide
