Get Backyard Sports to create a new Backyard Baseball with Current MLB Players.

The Issue

Hello everyone my name is Randy aka on Twitter Pacman072286 and I am from Massachusetts. I've been a big fan of Backyard Sports from the beginning when Backyard Baseball 97 came out which at the time I was 11 years old. Now that Backyard Sports is back by releasing the original BB 97 back on PC and on Mobile, I think it's time for them to create a new Backyard Baseball using the current MLB players. I would love to play with players like Shohei Ohtani, Paul Skeenes, Elly De La Cruz, Rafael Devers, Jose Ramirez, Juan Soto, Aaron Judge, Jose Altuve, Fernando Tatis Jr, Vladimir Guerrero Jr and many more as kids. With us Millenials and Gen Z who grew up playing the games, we can sign this petition to get the word out. All we want is a new Backyard Baseball game using the current MLB players by using the old animation and not the 3D animation look. Down below is an image of what Shohei Ohtani could like as a Backyard Baseball kid. I think with this petition along with Backyard Sports, Mega Cat Studios, Playground Productions, also with the help of MLB and MLBPA we can get the movement going. With a new BB game release, we can get the younger generation to play and have fun!
