Usually it is a player that easily represents the team, such as Prince Fielder for the Brewers or David Ortiz for the Red Sox.

Gameplay recreates the atmosphere of street stickball based in various cities such as Brooklyn, San Francisco and Boston.

For instance, striking a fire hydrant with a batted ball will cause it to spray water onto the street for a bonus.

Certain special items that are identified in the achievements are worth even extra, such as hitting the "wheel" or "basketball hoop".

Hitting these are worth 20 gamer points, and require a good amount of luck rather than skill.

This is crucial because there are few ways to get an out in the game, and the most helpful to the player is a strikeout due to the five points received for its completion.

Home runs are worth extra points, and a grand slam unlocks an achievement.

If a team wins, its characters celebrate around home plate; if they lose, they look discouraged around the pitcher's area.

After a game the player is presented stats of the characters used, including strikeouts, RBIs, hits, and ERA.

Fans also are hoping for a comeback of some sort with this type of backyard gameplay fun.
