Main article: Yakyū chīmu 106: Yakyū wa eien ni
A 12-episode anime based off of the series, known as Yakyū chīmu 106: Yakyū wa eien ni in Japan and Baseball Team 106: Baseball Forever internationally, aired on TV Tokyo in Japan during the summer of 2017 and has been licensed by NickFamily Studios in North America. The anime was aired on SurgeAnime TOO in the United States.
===Videogame===
A videogame based on the series will be released in September 2020 to commemorate the Flare+ release of a live-action adaptation.
==Home media==
In July 2018, the first season was made available on DVD in Region 1.
==Controversy==
In October 2017, during the series' second season, an episode parodying the 2017 Catalonian referendum was aired, featuring Carles Puigdemont (voiced by Cedric Themole) on the verge of wanting to declare Catalan independence after a baseball game in which the titular team of the series won, whilst Spain, lead by Mariano Rajoy, tried to impose direct rule on Catalonia.
The episode attracted controversy from many groups for "cheapening the effects of Catalonia's October 2017 referendum". Just a week after the episode was broadcast on Nicktoons Family in the United States, Nickelodeon Family in Latin America and AnimeNation's Western Domination in the Untied Kingdom and Ireland pulled the episode before it was set to air, despite airing on YTV Family in Canada and Disney XD Wales beforehand; upon the series' move to Disney Channel in Wales, reruns of the episode were pulled from the region, though the episode continues to be rerun in the United States on Aura.
==Trivia==
*This is the first Nicktoons Family series since The Adventures of Ross and Sherry to be based off of a Cartoon Madness short, due to RaGE picking up The Long Dark.
**Coincidentally, the series also launched a shared universe known as the Nicktoons Family Universe, despite the NFU not becoming an official shared universe until Time Force premiered in the United States.
*Contrary to the synopsis the titular team has won baseball games in a few episodes.
*The members of the titular team are named after several pitchers and batters within the Atlanta Braves roster.
