She is one of the biggest, tallest, mightiest players of the series, and offers a dominating prescence in a line-up in any sport.Kenny is in a wheelchair and consider to be the 'cool kid' of the group. He may be handicapped, but it doesn't stop him from trying his hardest in sports.

He loves sports simply for the related games having to do with physics and mathematics.An African-American boy who is one of the tallest Backyard Kids.
He, like Kiesha, is a total joker, only he doesn't take sports so lightly. Being tall can be a burden for Steele, as he is often seen as awkward and lanky. However, this 5'6 10-year old can dominate any sport when plugged into the correct situation in the right line-up.
One of his family members says he'll be a comedian when he grows up, which earned him his nickname, 'Funnybones.' Stephanie Morgan has a crush on him in the later games.

He seems to always have a cold, which causes him to constantly pick his nose. His running is a hinderance to his overall game. If he fails to score, he shouts, 'I'm telling my mom!'
His middle name is Rhett, after Rhett Mathis, the original programmer of the first game and music composer.Ricky JohnsonHe is a young African boy with a melon-shaped head, hence the name of one of the custom team names in the series. He has a low self-esteem, seen in Backyard Baseball, when he would constantly break the fourth wall by, after saying things, adding, 'if that's okay with you.'

She was discontinued after the 2006 games.Pete WheelerKnown as 'Wheelie', Pete is a long-necked boy with an oddly tall head. He's not the smartest, but he's good at most sports due to his blazing speed.
He is easily the fastest character in the series. He zones out constantly.Billy Jean BlackwoodA tall southern girl who speaks with a Southern accent.
She is the tallest kid in the league, with the exception of pro baseball player, Randy Johnson. This earned her nickname, 'Crazy Legs.' She dreams of becoming a fashion model when she grows up, and wants to live in Paris, France. She despises Marky Dubois, who has a crush on her.

![Backyard Baseball 09 Roster Backyard Baseball 09 Roster](/uploads/1/2/5/6/125615523/775847429.jpg)
If he is on the same team as Achmed, he plays better (though gets a debuff in his pitching). He looks up to Achmed, unlike several little siblings in the series, such as Angela Delvecchio and Ronny Dobbs. Amir retired in 2007, but can sometimes appear as a generic player in Backyard Baseball 2007.Gretchen HasselhoffA young blonde girl who likes to talk pretty fast. She can also run quickly in many games, but overall can be considered quite mediocre. She is nicknamed 'Jabberjaw' as a result of her talkativity. She isn't very popular amongst other kids due to her being quite hyperactive. She was discontinued after 2006.Annie FrazierHer nickname is 'Flipper.'
She's a bit of a hippie who likes to play sports for the sake of being outdoors. She doesn't like to hurt others either as this was made apparent in Backyard Baseball 2005. She hosted her own ballpark, the scenic Frazier Field. The stadium's bio said that she didn't like players sliding around because it hurt the Grass Gods. Nevertheless, Frazier is a fine sleeper pick in almost all sports.Jorge GarciaA snobby rich Spanish kid who hates to get dirty. He isn't an athletic type, as he is below average in almost each game. 'Bonkers' full name is Jorge Raoul Luis Garcia III.
He comes from money, and makes this fact known in Backyard Hockey. The first thing he says upon clicking him is, 'I'm Jorge Garcia, and I have more money than you.'

She retired after 2006, but made a return in the new mobile games nearly a decade later in 2015.Maria LunaAlso known as 'Pinky', Maria is a little Hispanic girl who loves the color pink. Her strength on the field is speed. Her family owns an authentic Mexican restaurant, called 'La Luna Lleno.'
Whenever she played on a team that had pink as a color, she played infinitely better.Lisa CrocketHer nickname, 'Mad Dog,' puzzles many players, as she isn't very aggressive, nor is she very social. She mumbles and has a dry sense of humor. She admires for his brain, and she also had immense raw power in all sports. However, she wasn't very agile, which hurt her overall game.New Characters Arthur ChenA new Chinese-American kid. He is good friends with Achmed Khan.Samantha PierceA blonde girl who loves to surf tidewaves. She is a new girl to the team.Joey MacAdooOne of the best players, next to Sanchez. He thinks of himself as one of the best players, just like Tony.
He looks like him, too.Ace PattersonA military-born child, who is good at many sports, and especially loves playing football.Jimmy KnucklesThe first villain in the Backyard Sports series, Jimmy was a bully, but soon, the others convinced him to be nice, so he stopped being mean to the players.Trivia. Some original characters, like Pablo and Vicki, have made it to the new games, while others haven't yet. No one has amassed the same skill that Pablo has had throughout every game. There are, so far, five siblings in the series: the Delvecchios (Tony and Angela), the Dobbs (Sally and Ronny), the Kawaguchis (Kenny and Vicki), the Khans (Achmed and Amir), and the Webbers (Ashley and Sidney). Ashley or Sidney Webber may have a crush on Tony Delvecchio.
Starting with Backyard Baseball 2005, Vinnie the Gooch was replaced with Abner Dubbleplay. Abner was later replaced by Jack Fouler. Pablo, Vicki, Dmitri, Kiesha, Tony, Ashley, Sidney, and Jorge were the only characters who appeared in every game of the series until the franchise reboot. As of now, Pablo, Tony, Sidney, and Ashley are the only Backyard Kids that never been dropped or discontinued even when the franchise rebooted. Some old characters have been discontinued possibly because they were not too popular, or were simply removed to put new characters in, or because they needed room for more pros in the games. However, the recent mobile games apps brought back some miscounted characters such as Ricky, Achmed, and Dante. But it is unknown if all 30 Backyard Kids plus the new Backyard characters will make a comeback in the mobile games.
