Description from the packaging.

Backyard Baseball captures the fun and laughter of summer days spent playing sandlot baseball with the kids from the old neighborhood. Kid announcers Vinnie the Gooch and Sunny Day help your kids get to know each of the 30 girls' and boys' strengths and weaknesses.

Backyard Baseball provides hours of fun that never get rained out!
