Geocache Description:


Backyard Baseball is a game that I played a lot as a kid. There were 30 local "neighborhood" kids in the game who got together to play baseball, and all parts of the game were kid related - the humor, the players, and even the announcers were kids. Even still, Backyard Baseball is a game that I could easily play now and still enjoy as it's rather timeless!

For this puzzle, you'll need to focus on information from the 2001 version of the game, as the original game from 1999 didn't have numbers that would work out. Same kids and game for the most part, but some little tweaks. The below lineup (batting order) of players may seem random, but they will get you the coordinates you need. The key to the success of any baseball team is their ability to hit after all!
