The Pirates being beaten by a team of children is surprisingly realistic.

[@PoeticProphetic]

The pirates humiliated the “at the time” first place Mets earlier this year. I’m sure the kids would win by mercy rule against the Mets

[@St0rM_Galaxy_Fan]

@Jaycee no

[@dogseatpeanutbutter9958]

Not just beaten but no hit

[@Whatdoyouwant904]

@Jaycee as a St. Louis fan I love to see any other team in the NL Central get smacked around

[@Icedrazz]

Welcome to my world

[@empire0]

I love how wholesome these vids are, no swearing, complimenting players. This game looks hilarious, I love how the kids make random errors too, makes things a lot more chaotic

[@matthewbless3335]

To explain Nan and why she's so good at pitching: Certain kids are clones of the MLB pros. There is one female clone for each pro player in the game. Nan Porter is the clone of the Phillies' pro, in 03, that means she's got the exact same attributes as Jimmy Rollins, but here, she has the same attributes as the Phillies' pro, Curt Schilling.

[@asdasf8817]

i think one npc also has the same stats as angela

[@matthewbless3335]

@@asdasf8817 indeed. In 03, she has two clones, Betty Houstan and Bobby Bulgrien. There are a handful of other backyard kids that have similar counterparts. Tony (Jim Kiley/Lena Ng) and Vicki Kawaguchi (Bret Olson/Cindy Chang) come to mind

[@carlfreeman4650]

I spent countless hours on this one as a kid. This is the best version no doubt.

Here I am, a grown man, watching another grown man play a children’s game from the early 2000’s. Where did I go right in life

[@Ninjapanda042]

"Kenny isn't gonna strike em out but he is gonna get grounders" - What I'm hearing is that Kenny is the Greg Maddux of Backyard Baseball

[@FromDuskTilDom]

Personally, I love the 2001 version the most. I'm excited to see how where this series goes

[@drewwik5351]

I spent countless hours on this game myself but honestly I think the 2009 version has the most potential

[@headhunter0025]

2001 is the best BYB but 2003 is the best football game

[@grayd98]

Well it looks like there won't be any more of the series.

[@AlterFilms]

And then he just stopped doing it

[@harismusanovic6730]

This series is dead that’s where

[@timberwolvesenthusiast8014]

drew i saw your tweet about content creating feeling like a chore. i just wanted to say i hope you feel better soon and if you need to take a break you can but i get sponsors probably won't let you

[@c0dysports]

This!

[@hubertastegood]

He's playing backyard baseball 2001, he's clearly not in a great place. I agree, maybe he should take a break.

[@jacob4189]

Yeah he didn’t sound quite as enthusiastic in this vid as he usually does. I understand it though, playing games for a living and playing what people want you to play in order to keep your view count up would become tiring after awhile. Still love Drew though so I hope he doesn’t burn himself out

[@SleeperGuy23]

@@jacob4189 he had a decent revival when he ended the ncaa stuff and was posting whatever. Of course that’s not stable so you need an anchor series which is why he went back to ncaa. He found a decent medium with one off videos and short series. Honestly his days as a youtuber are kind of numbered and he’s probably reached his peak or stagnating. Long term series get stale and he feels the burnout there, short term series don’t get people invested and he feels burnout from that. Idk what the answer is but if he scales back to this being a hobby and maybe go back to his early days for low pressure madden experiment stuff and tournaments. He has to know it won’t last forever so either embrace this being a hobby or leave and focus on your next chapter cause the burnout won’t go away if he’s feeling it this often.

I still remember the team I had when I was a kid. Team: New York Mets. 1st Base: Cal Ripken Jr. 2nd Base: Sammy Sosa. 3rd Base: Pablo Sanchez. Short Stop: Nomar Garciaparra. Left Field: Kenny Lofton. Center Field: Pete Wheeler. Right Field: Ken Griffey Jr. Catcher: Mike Piazza. Pitcher: Angela Delvecchio.

[@raishauntanner4206]

Jesus this team just bullied kids

[@RandomnessMusician]

Kenny Lofton... That's a name I haven't heard in years

[@ShadowOfCicero]

Finally! Another Angela fan! Let's see those curve balls!

[@robertmccauley754]

I love that you have your crew of players from the last game, great continuity. This series rules. Just spent a straight hour and a half binging these videos. Couldn’t get the smile off my face.

[@BoomRandom]

I'm glad see someone playing the backyard games, at all. Also, I like to think Kenny could easily be your closer. JT leads it off, Kenny stepping up late into the game.

[@babyyodaguy1378]

I love how this is a kids game. That has jokes meant for children. And I’m still laughing at all of them

[@jakeb8601]

Played this one the most as a kid. So happy you are giving it a series!

[@bullshark3771]

I played the 97 one most so can u remind me why their stats are lower? Was it the position thing?

[@andrewgoff1321]

I can’t handle it anymore. A series never lasts longer than 4-5 episodes before you move on and we never see it again. I just want to be able to submerge myself in the story that you create within your games, but that is long gone.

[@17AJ06]

“In there like swim wear” is something I say all the time and have said basically just whole life and just about no one knows where it’s from

[@goodfromohio]

In the 1997 version theres a ton of fields you can play on but only for 1 off exhibition games. The season games all take place on the standard field like you mentioned. In the exhibition games you also get to play against the other backyard kids instead of the 4 different bots that they use for the other team in the season mode.

[@BRonSports]

This is the one I put the most time into as a kid I absolutely loved this game! Good to see you back Drew I can't imagine the pressure you feel at your level of content creation just know that we're all here because we like you and the content you provide. If you're able to take a break please do so 💙

[@jacobearnest2187]

I love being able to hear you spam mouse clicks😂😂

[@Milkiest]

Points out outdated logos Doesn’t point out Chief Wahoo lol Also old Ángels logo is classic.

[@mdwz9266]

The shed in Steele Stadium reminds me of the DVSU days. Shed side, Strong side!

[@AlexDelulu]

Gotta give a like because 2001 BYB was my jam! Can't wait to see more of this year!

[@BlakeWR81]

I did not realize how many memories this would bring back. "Gotta watch your kneecaps on that one!" I must have spent 7-9 years old only playing the Backyard games. Football, baseball, hockey, soccer, basketball, they were all incredible. It's funny watching this now and realizing I had more fun playing these games than I've ever gotten out of games like Madden or 2K.

[@K-Bronz15]

The 2001 03 BYB was my favorite. The playing at other fields sold me. But Drew…you struck out 10 times to Nan….

[@Igknight-db3wr]

I would love to see you make a video of you ranking your favorite games and least favorite games that you've played

[@gschlim6788]

Nan Porter is actually a direct cloning of Curt Schilling in this game, which is why she’s so tough on the mound. They also had Kenny’s clone, Judy Abwunza. Surprised she wasn’t the reliever honestly

[@SolidSnake684]

I still play this pretty much every year, and your team is actually pretty close to what mine usually is. I always try to pick a fair but balanced team, but every time I don't pick Pablo, it feels wrong haha. Stephanie, Ernie, and Maria are the heart of my team, with Griffey and Pablo in there to spice it up. This game is so much fun man, there's just nothing like it!

[@austinmcclellan9890]

This is the backyard baseball I had, brought back some serious nostalgia. Canseco was clearly juicing in this game even as a kid but he was my favorite player as a kid so I always picked him

[@moartrainz4242]

Every single menu is a window to my past. This is fantastic.

[@i_play_basketball_sometime1592]

“boom Jorge” had me laughing so hard

The idea of replacing a kid on your team with a professional player just feels like that Simpsons episode where Mr. Burns hires all the MLB players to play rec-league softball

[@rynomclaughlin1595]

The 2001 version is my childhood Drewski love it that you rebooted the series to this game. also Dirt Yards is a goat field, easy HRs for Pablo and the righty bois with that one foot high wall

[@vazquez277]

The way the dog look at the food was so cute

[@drewwik5351]

Try the 2009 version it’s got that 3D depth and more power ups and interactivity. More content kinda. Love this game tho I probably won the Chip 6 seasons in a row 😂

[@Cozitto]

I was 5 years old at the Mariners Fan-Fest in 2000 and they gave me a copy of the game for free. I played the absolute cover off this game. Great times

[@danpierce8862]

I played the gamecube version with my best buddies tossing back some beers and Ricky was our meme god, he got buffed so hard in the GC version. And his trash talk is awesome. When he catches the ball at first base he says "gotcha" love it!

This is the generation of backyard sports I remember

Omg i used to play this game religiously throughout my childhood lol all the backyard games tbh, yooooo u guys remember the music players had in the background while u selecting them ?

[@jasonglasser1621]

"This kid is so creepy" that's because that is one of the pros. Pirates didn't exactly have anyone at the time, so it makes sense why Jason Kendall wouldn't have the name recognition of a Ken Griffey Jr for example, but he's definitely a pro.

[@ty1er_a1paugh]

I’ve never clicked on a Drewski video so fast in my life

The parking lot field unlocked a core memory I didn’t know I had

[@vincebaseballclips8322]

The crazy bombers in 2001 is wild

[@movingtriangle8527]

NTE, I believe the reason why some of your players have decreases in stats is due to where they are. In future games each player has a preferred area and a non-preferred area. I hope this helps.

[@Juliolaguarta1]

Its ironic that in this game that Jason Kendall plays for the pirates. He actually played for the Pittsburgh Pirates from 1996-2004

[@paulgabella6331]

Not gonna lie, I was pumped for the Giants matchup w/ the undefeated Fishes in ‘97. Kenny was unavailable after pitching the day before. Keisha and Jocinda were primed for breakouts. Would Ernie be more valuable staying at second instead of pitching? Jorge just got the first hit of his career and could have started a game-streak! Steph was about to earn the Roberto Clemente Award. And the backyard was better than the beach.

[@ChirpsalotPlaysGames]

The fact that Jen Taylor (who voiced Cortana from Halo and Zoey from Left 4 Dead) voiced Sunny Day baffles me on how long she has been voicing characters.
