What’s your preferred version of Backyard Baseball? unpopular opinion: The GBA version. I’d tank myself as hard as I could with awful players and see how many I could win.

What’s your favorite field? Eckman Acres orrrr Steele field? Least favorite was Tin Can Alley. That’s gonna be an autolose for me.

What’s your favorite team to play as? They don’t have any differences in my mind. Diamond Backs with RJ I guess?

What’s your favorite real-life team? Twins

Who’s your favorite Backyard Kid? Pablo is such an easy answer. I had the soccer game *looks up* oh yeah, forgot to mention that earlier… Ricky Johnson carries that game. I wish they had made him better in this game in particular. His hitting is so bad.
