Backyard Sports (originally branded as Junior Sports)[1][2] is a series of video games released for consoles and computers. The series is best known for starring kid-sized versions of popular professional sports stars, such as Albert Pujols, Paul Pierce, Barry Bonds, Tim Duncan, Clint Mathis, Kevin Garnett, Tom Brady, David Ortiz, Joe Thornton and Andy Macdonald. The Backyard Sports series is licensed by the leading professional U.S. sports leagues: Major League Baseball (MLB), the National Basketball Association (NBA), the National Football League (NFL), the National Hockey League (NHL), and Major League Soccer (MLS).
The series includes Backyard Baseball, Backyard Basketball, Backyard Football (American football), Backyard Soccer, Backyard Hockey (Ice hockey), and Backyard Skateboarding. In the games, players form a team consisting of Backyard Kids and pro players, which they take through a 'Backyard League' season, attempting to become the champions. Players can create their own athletes, starting in Backyard Football (1999). Another aspect of the games is the use of Power-Ups, allowing players to gain 'super-abilities'. For instance, 'Super Dunk' allows a basketball player to make an incredible dunk from nearly anywhere on the court, 'Leap Frog' allows a football player to jump over the entire defensive line, and 'Ice Cream Truck' causes the other team to be completely distracted for a brief period of time.
Some of these games are playable with the ScummVM emulator.[3]
History[edit]
The series began in late 1997, when Humongous Entertainment created their first game, Backyard Baseball. Humongous Entertainment was owned by GT Interactive. Later Infogrames bought the company, and along with it came all of the game titles. Infogrames allowed Humongous Entertainment to expand the series, and they developed more titles such as Backyard Soccer, Backyard Hockey, Backyard Skateboarding, Backyard Basketball and Backyard Football.[4] Following the buyout by Infogrames these titles from the Backyard series have seen releases for game consoles, including the Nintendo GameCube, Game Boy Advance, PlayStation 2, Xbox 360, and Wii.
On July 24, 2013, Epic Gear bought the Backyard Sports franchise from the Atari bankruptcy proceedings.[5]
On December 11, 2014, Day 6 Sports Group announced the relaunch of the Backyard Sports series with Backyard Sports NBA Basketball for smartphones and tablets, with Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry as the cover athlete.
On April 19, 2019, Humongous Entertainment tweeted an image of the original Junior Sports logo, hinting at a possible re-release of the original games and/or the developer having re-secured the rights to the series proper.[6][1][2]
These are the list of books in the Backyard Series starring the Backyard Kids. All the books taken place in the newer versions of Backyard Sports before the buyout to Day Sports 6 Group.

Hey there, it’s 5 o’clock somewhere, rather than heading to your local bar in town, why not head outside into your backyard and whip up a cocktail?
Backyard bar sheds are becoming the newest trend in outdoor living in the UK. Stay ahead of the curve and get your bar shed started right here in the U.S.
Turn your backyard shed into a bar and enjoy all the amenities of a sports bar or cocktail lounge right in your backyard. There’s no need to drink alone, have your friends over for happy hour and enjoy yourself!
Makeover Your Shed into a Cocktail Bar
Turning your shed into a bar isn’t as easy as slapping some liquor bottles on a shelf and installing some chairs. You need ambiance, style and comfort.
First you need to decide on your style. Do you want your bar to say corner pub, cocktail lounge or classy?
Be sure to check out this bar shed concept by Heartland.
Use Your Bar Shed for Home brewing
![Backyard Sports Remake Backyard Sports Remake](/uploads/1/2/6/4/126478689/378243601.jpg)
Aside from mixing drinks, another great use for a backyard bar is that you will have some space for home brews if that’s your pleasure.
There are many alcoholic beverages that can be home brewed, such as beer, cider, sake and mead. It’s a fun and fairly inexpensive hobby to get started. The typical home brewer will need to outlay approximately $20- $100 for a home brewing equipment supply.
How to Stock Your Bar
Outfitting your bar isn’t going to be an inexpensive undertaking. If you wish to have a fully stocked bar the basic liquors you’ll need are:
- Tequila
- Rum
- Vodka
- Whiskey/Bourbon
- Scotch
- Gin
Basic Bar Recipes
Anyone can mix up a rum and coke, but if you’re going to play bartender in your backyard, you’ll need to know the recipes for these basic drinks.
- Martini
- Manhattan
- Margarita
- Bloody Mary
- Daiquiri
- Pina Colada
- Irish coffee
- Mint Julep
- Whiskey Sour
- Mai Tai
- Tom Collins
Creative Ways to Stock Your Bar
As I mentioned before, fully stocking a bar isn’t going to be something most people can afford to do all in one fell swoop. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself to fill it up immediately. Buy your favorite liquors, some wine and keep some beer in the fridge. Add to it each month when you have extra cash on hand. But if you want to get it up to snuff, don’t take out a loan. Here are a few creative ways to stock your liquor cabinet in a hurry.
- Have a party to celebrate your new space. Ask everyone to bring a bottle of liquor to contribute. Most people (hopefully) aren’t going to drink an entire bottle, so voila! when they are gone, you’ll have several fairly new bottles of liquor to add to your collection.
- Buy in bulk. A lot of stores will offer discounts if you buy a certain number of bottles. You can save a dollar or two per bottle if you purchase in bulk.
- Buy straight from the source. Visit some local distilleries and see if you can buy at wholesale prices. There are often small distilleries around that may work to give you a discount if you purchase several bottles.
Backyard Bars Are the Newest Trend
Backyard bars are becoming popular all over the world. With more bars banning smoking, the cost of living prices going up, and with so many people working from home, it seems only natural that the backyard bar is becoming the new neighborhood bar.
Enough of the small talk. Lets show off some more pictures. Grab your drink of choice and enjoy! Join us in the conversation @backyardbar. Please drink responsibly.
