An important event took place this week for anyone who grew up in the 90’s. This past Wednesday was the day that your favorite childhood video game was legally allowed to buy a beer. The 21st anniversary of Backyard Baseball meant nostalgia ran rampant on Twitter and Instagram.
Released October 24th, 1997, by Humongous Entertainment, Backyard Baseball was a cartoon computer game that stole years of daylight from every kid with a CD slot and a mouse. Assuming the role of manager, the game allows you to pick from a crowd of fictional players to populate your lineup card.
