Here’s a simple method to earn the Backyard Baseball 97 Grand Slam achievements, including Grand Slammer, Grand Slam Bites, Grand Slam Cakes, Grand Slamwich, and even contribute toward the Home Run Overlord achievement.
Backyard Baseball 97 Grand Slam Achievements Guide
Game Setup:
- Mode: Set up T-ball mode on easy difficulty.
- Game Length: Choose a 9-inning game.
- Errors: Turn errors ON to increase the chances of getting players on base.
- Additional Settings:
- Play-by-play: ON.
- Ambient sound and chatter: ON (if you’re into speedrunning, but optional for casual players).
Steps to Get a Grand Slam:
Load the Bases: Get three players on base by swinging or relying on errors.
Save Your Progress: When you have the bases loaded and the right batter at the plate, pause the game and save.
Attempt the Home Run: Swing for a home run. If you miss or it’s not a home run, don’t worry.
Reload and Try Again: If you fail, just reload the saved game and swing again. Keep doing this until you hit a home run, which will trigger the grand slam.
Confirmation:
- When you hear the in-game announcer Sunny Day call out the grand slam, you know it’s counted.
By reloading the saved game after each attempt, you can quickly hit multiple grand slams without wasting time. You’ll also gradually rack up stats for the Home Run Overlord achievement.
