History Characters / BackyardSports

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: In ''Soccer 2004'''s season debugger screen, it's listed as Worker Drone E45.

* CanadaEh: Because he's the only Canadian kid in the game, he says "Eh?" after majority of his sentences.

A klutzy Italian-American girl who acts like she's from TheFifties. She has a bitter rivalry with her older brother Tony Delvecchio.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: He really does not like wearing shoes or socks; according to his description in the original ''Backyard Baseball'', he only ever wears shoes to school and church.

* GroundShatteringLanding: Non-superhero example; her championship victory photo in ''Baseball 2003'' shows her sitting in the middle of a swimming pool... with crack in the concrete underneath her and all the water drained from it. This implies that she is so heavy that the water didn't slow her down, and her landing was enough to damage the pool floor underneath.

->'''Born''': August 18
->'''Nicknames''': "Secret Weapon", "Pabs"

* TheAce: One of the best, if not the best, players in every game.
* {{Acrofatic}}: His belly sticks out from his shirt but he's easily the most athletic of the Backyard Kids. He loses a lot of weight in ''Baseball 2007'', but regains his old physique in ''Baseball 2015''.

* BilingualBonus: That's actual Spanish he's speaking.
* GratuitousSpanish:
** He switches between Spanish and English in the [=GameCube=] version of ''Football''.
** An early EasterEgg had him saying that he learned Spanish ''in school''.[[note]]As this is merely a MythologyGag based on the fact his voice actor was a non-native speaker, the canonicity of this is debatable.[[/note]]
* {{Leitmotif}}: Basically a more badass version of "España Cañí", a Spanish bullfighting song.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: He's one of the shortest kids in the game, but is great at most sports.
* SecretWeapon: His nickname; you'd never know that this short little Spanish-speaking kid could be so skilled at sports. (Well, at least if you weren't paying attention to his stats.) That being said, the games soon acknowledged that it's not much of a ''secret'' when he's become renowned for his skills.
* SignificantBirthDate: [[http://theclassical.org/articles/the-boys-and-girls-of-summer-or-remembering-backyard-baseball He's been compared to the late baseball legend Roberto Clemente]], and actually shares a birthday with him (August 18).

->'''Nickname''': "Wheelie"

A dim-witted Caucasian-American boy who is by far the fastest runner of the Backyard Kids.

* TheDitz:
** Among other things, he forgets which side of the batter's box to start on, keeps using [[GretzkyHasTheBall terminologies from other sports]], and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking asks what team he's on when selected]].
** His celebratory photo for ''Backyard Football'' has him excitedly waiting in an empty line, carrying his ride pass... ''to go to the restroom''.
* GameBreaker: In the original ''Baseball'' game, it is borderline impossible to get the ball to base before him. That, plus his very good stats in all other categories, makes him one of the best players in the game.
* {{Leitmotif}}: A slow, Western-style piano song.
* SimpletonVoice: A very Film/ForrestGump-esque drawl, to match his character type.
* SuperSpeed: He's the fastest of the Backyard Kids.

A little nerdy Caucasian-American boy who is decently good at most sports but is asthmatic and tires out the quickest.

* AuthorAppeal: He can play the ''Franchise/StarWars'' theme on a piano. Ron Gilbert, the co-founder of Humongous Entertainment, produced games for Lucasfilm Games[=/=]Creator/{{LucasArts}}.
* ButtMonkey: Even [[EvenNerdsHaveStandards Dmitri]] insults him, finding him too nerdy and annoying for his tastes.
* ImmediateSelfContradiction: It's possible to have him say "I wanna play on your team!" when clicking on him in ''Baseball'', only for him to say "I didn't want to play on your team anyway." when saying no to him.
* {{Leitmotif}}: An '80s synth-pop song.
* LovableNerd: Zig-zagged; while some people, like Dante, Maria, and Vinnie the Gooch, like him, other people, like Kimmy, Dmitri, Ronny, and Barry Bonds, find him annoying.
* MistakenIdentity: His celebratory photo in ''Backyard Basketball 2004'' calls him Creator/ReeseWitherspoon for some reason.
* NerdyInhaler: When he steps up to bat in the original games, he breathes into an inhaler.
* PottyFailure: He mentions in ''Soccer'' peeing his pants because he would miss recess if he used the bathroom during class. He tries to tell this story as if someone else did it in order to cover himself up, but slips near the end.

* VerbalTic: He often ends his lines with "if that's okay/alright with you."
* WeakButSkilled: Typically lacks power, but is strong in other areas.

[[folder:Ronny Dobbs]]
!!Ronald Henry Dobbs
->'''Voiced by''': Nick Austria (1997-2002), Lani Minella (2002-2003)
->'''Born''': August 10 (August 1 in ''Backyard Hockey'')
->'''Nickname''': "Spud"

An African-American boy who, at five years old, is the third-youngest of the Backyard Kids (only Dante Robinson and Luanne Lui are younger). He hates being seen as little and being bossed around by his older sister Sally Dobbs. Despite wanting to be seen as a "big kid" because they "don't cry", he's a bit of a crybaby anyway.

->'''Born''': November 11
->'''Nickname''': "The Boss"

* BigSisterInstinct: She is very protective of Ronny. Her defensive stats (such as pitching and fielding in baseball) are maxed out if they're on the same team.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Her last appearance was ''Hockey 2005''.
* JackOfAllStats: She's the best-balanced player in ''Baseball 2001'' and ''2003'', with 7's in every stat.
** StrongButUnskilled: On the other hand, as shown in hidden stats, Sally's batting accuracy is [[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1waTChkjtCecz_3_dtEMTqnf_r8276NjB_zrzK-n7O6g/edit#gid=560465&range=AC22 almost nonexistent]] and thus she can easily miss or foul on offense.
* {{Leitmotif}}: An clarinet song.
* SiblingTeam: Whereas Ronnie's stats go down if they're on the same team, her stats go up.
* TeamMom: She's one of the older Backyard Kids, as well as arguably the most mature, which is why they call her "The Boss". Though not everyone likes this, with her younger brother Ronny being the biggest example.

* AscendedFangirl: She says in the original ''Backyard Baseball'' that she wants to be in the hall of fame next to Cal Ripken Jr. In ''Baseball 2001'', Ripken is one of the playable pros, so [[HilariousinHindsight you can make this happen yourself]].

%%* CommutingOnABus: In ''Baseball 2007''.
* ExpositionFairy: In the first two games, she's one of the kids who give you hints about the game if you click on them enough. In her case, Stephanie explains about how the kids' personalities/bios hint at conditions that make them play better or worse, using the Webber twins as an example in ''Baseball'' and Billy Jean and Marky in ''Soccer'' (not mentioning she herself has one when she plays shortstop in ''Baseball'').
* JackOfAllStats: With generally above average stats in most games, she can essentially play any infield position to moderate effectiveness, though she really excels as shortstop and goalie.
* {{Leitmotif}}: The classic "Baseball organ" that transitions into an original organ piece.
* MotorMouth: Not as much as Gretchen, but still noticeable (not counting her later voices). At the very least, her topics make more sense.
