Imagine a game where the players play for the love of the game, not the money. A game where multi-million dollar contracts are unknown. A game where everyone gets to play. Imagine a game just like it was with the youthful innocence of a child. This, my friends, is Backyard Baseball. Backyard Baseballtakes you back to when you were a kid, when baseball was a game, and the team was hastily put together among the kids in the neighborhood.
Playing for Real
Humongous Entertainment reached back into the past and captured all those childhood memories of baseball and digitally assembled them into this game. All the details that make the memories real are here - from the kids taunting the pitcher to the child with the asthma inhaler. Do you remember picking teams, taking turns picking from the best players until only the bad players were left? Do you remember picking someone's little brother because his big brother was a good player? It's all here. Nothing was left out.
Players choose from fields such as the sandlot, the urban parking lot, and the rich kid's backyard. Pitchers throw crazy pitches such as the 'Elevator' and the 'Crazy Ball.' Background ambient noises and the taunting by the opposing team add to the rich atmosphere that you can almost smell.
Everything about this game is charming and cute.
Swing and Miss
Gameplay includes all the necessary elements. Pitchers choose the pitch as well as the placement. Hitters swing at the ball and can even see the strike zone. Fielding is accomplished by clicking where you want the ball thrown, and running is as simple as clicking in the direction you want the runner to advance. Everything is here, and everything is easy enough for kids. The pace is a little slow, but not too fast for children. Each batter has a distinct personality - from the boy who hops to the plate to the girl who says 'my game is really tennis, anyway' when she strikes out. I was extremely impressed with all the details of each character.
I have a few complaints about the game. This game doesn't install any files to the hard disk - everything is run from the CD. For some reason, each swing of the bat causes the CD to be read. This makes the animation choppy and the mouse click to hit feels sluggish and unresponsive. While the game is playable with this problem, it makes hitting the ball a little difficult. Instead of getting better the more balls I hit, I never really improved. I think this is because I never was able to time when I hit the mouse button and the player started their swing. That little delay when it read from the CD just ruins the hand/eye coordination.
I tried copying the entire 270MB of CD data to the hard disk to see if that improved performance (note: this is not an option in the install menu, I just copied it by dragging the contents of the CD into a new folder on my hard disk.) It did speed up the game somewhat, but the batting problem didn't improve significantly.
I also encountered one bug: I hit a ball that bounced infield, then over the fence for what should have been a double. The announcer even stated this was a double, but the runner advanced only to first.
Worthy of Praise
This game is terrific and has all the elements of a Gold Medal winner. But I can't do it. The delay in clicking the mouse and the batter swinging the ball just ruins it for me. I still like the game a lot and highly recommend it, but a Gold Medal is for games without such evident flaws. I guess I'm mad because this should have been corrected. Even a little play testing would have shown that this was a problem. Instead, we are left with what could have been a 'Game of the Year,' but instead fails to deliver on one very important game element.
This is still an outstanding game and I recommend it strongly.

York County is becoming a breeding ground for producing NCAA Division I baseball pitchers.
The latest local hurler headed to a big-time college program is C.J. Czerwinski, who will be a senior at Red Lion High School this fall.
Red Lion Gun Sub 2000
The 5-foot, 11-inch, 175-pound right-hander gave a verbal commitment to the College of Charleston in South Carolina on Monday.
He follows in the footsteps of his Red Lion teammate, Tyler Burchett, who is headed to the University of Kentucky following a standout senior season with the Lions in 2018.
The two Lions, however, are far from the only area pitchers to attract interest from major schools.
Another 2018 graduate, Dallastown’s Nick Parker, is committed to Coastal Carolina.
Some other local pitchers on D-I rosters include Eastern York’s Brandon Knarr at Notre Dame, Spring Grove’s Matt Brooks at Charlotte, Northeastern’s Kody Reeser at Towson and York Catholic’s Brenden Kennedy at Mount St. Mary’s.
Strong junior season: Czerwinski helped the Lions reach the District 3 Class 6-A championship game this past season as a junior, compiling a 2.56 ERA over 38 1/3 innings, according to Red Lion’s GameChanger website. He struck out 51, while allowing 32 hits and 18 walks.
Those numbers were seriously skewed by one poor outing (two-thirds of an inning, seven earned runs) in a PIAA playoff game vs. a powerhouse La Salle College team featuring seven NCAA D-I recruits.
Increase in velocity: Czerwinski, who considers his curve ball his best pitch, said his recruitment picked up significantly in recent months when his fastball velocity started hitting the 90-mph range.
An excellent student, Czerwinski chose Charleston over James Madison, Campbell, Morehead State, Columbia and Yale.
“It just felt right,” Czerwinski said about Charleston. “The city is beautiful, the baseball is great, the weather is warm and the coaching staff was amazing. … It’s always been a dream of mine to go down south (to play college baseball).”
Charleston finished 36-19 in 2018, including a 15-8 mark in the Colonial Athletic Association under head coach Chad Holbrook. The Cougars have made the NCAA Division I playoffs seven times since 2004.
Inspired by success of father's teams at West York: Czerwinski said his interest in baseball started when he was a youngster watching his father, Roger, coach West York High School to a pair of state championships.
“He’s really kept me driven,” Czerwinski said of his father, who is now the athletic director at Manheim Township High School in Lancaster County. “When he won those two state championships, I was with him. I thought ‘wow,’ I really want to be a part of this. That’s what really got me into baseball.”
Red Lion Yarn Free Patterns
Academics and athletics: For his part, Roger Czerwinski is most pleased that his son based his college decision on academics and athletics.
“I'm very happy that his focus was not solely on baseball,” Roger Czerwinski said. “He chose a school that will allow him to study what he wants: astrophysics. We are very proud. He has worked very hard in the classroom and on the field to have this opportunity. The coaching staff at C of C is first class.”
Red Lion Socks
C.J. Czerwinski trains with former York Revolution player Jason Aspito at Backyard University in Red Lion and plays club ball with US Elite Baseball. He also plans to play soccer this fall for the Lions.
