Angela Delvecchio

Angela Delvecchio is an Italian-American character in the Backyard Sports series. She is rumored to have "two left feet".

Appearance[]

Angela is shown to wear a white shirt, a blue vest and a blue skirt with brown hair. It has changed a bit in Backyard Hockey because in the older games, her outfit looks like overalls. While in Hockey and Baseball 2005, it is button-up from the top.

Statistics[]

Angela is a bit of a "Tweener." Not big enough to be a forward, but not possessing the quickness or ballhandling of a classic guard. She can sure fill it up from long-range though.

Angela may have two left feet, but she sure knows how to use 'em! She's also one of the best kickers around. She's not too shabby on defense, either.

Kicking - 7

For someone who has two left feet on dry land, Angela's not a bad skater. But watch her take her game to another level when she plays against big brother Tony.

Passing - 8

Skating - 6

Angela might be your best choice for keeper, but her agility and kicking power make her a good player to have playing forward. In her spare time Angela likes the salty crunch food group and can be found snacking on chips and carrot sticks.

Defense - 5

Running - 4

Angela may have bad luck, but when it comes to water sports, she's definitely a mean, lean, super swimming machine! Also, when she races against her brother Tony, we're talking about massive competition.

You guys in the outfield better move back.
The name's Angela Delvecchio, and I'm probably the best at baseball, ya know, fer sure. Not that I think I'm all that but you'll see. I am good.
Ya know, I'm probably the best athlete here, but I don't like to brag or anything, cuz I don't want the other kids to feel bad and feel like knuckleheads or something. Some kids just have natural talents and some kids just don't. I don't wanna toot my horn or anything, but I'm a natual, fer sure.
Okay, my name's Angela, and I'm 8 years old. I like sports and school cuz I'm good at them. When I grow up, I want to be an astronaut or doctor or a lawyer or a teacher. Being a teacher would be way neat because I like to boss around kids and stuff and maybe I'd let the kids have recess early and go out and play with them. And then I could have summers off and not have to work all the time like my old man. He makes milkshakes, ya know, which will be an okay job too because milkshakes are goooood!
My brother's name is Tony, and he thinks he's a big man, but he ain't all that, ya know. He's older than me, but he's not nearly mature as I am. I'm a young lady, ya know.
I'm in the third grade, but I tested into fifth grade, but my pop, he didn't want to move up because, he didn't want me to make my brother Tony feel like a knucklehead. He says "Angela sugar, you're a good kid. Whattya need to go make your brother Tony feel like a knucklehead?" And then I says "Hey pop, don't sweat it," ya know, and he says "Here, have a milkshake," and I says "Thanks pop" because I like milkshakes, ya see? Okay, I'm done talking now.

Backyard Baseball 2003[]

Bye-Bye!

That's all, folks!
Watch and learn!
Watch the birdie!
You are SO gonna strike out!
I'm gonna smack the stuffin outta this one!
Hey there, short-stuff. I'm Angela, Angela Delvecchio. I'm Tony's little sister!
My name's Angela. That means like, angel or somethin' in Italian. Least that's what my Grandma says... She's always sayin' "Hey Angela, you know your name means 'Angel', so why don't ya start acting like one and stop beatin' on your brother Tony?"
So Vinnie the Gooch comes up to me and says, "Yo Angie, who's da better athelete, you or your brother Tony?" So I says to him, "First of all, I've been better than Tony since I was three years old, and secondly, if ya ever call me 'Angie' again, I'll feed that microphone of yours to ya on a knuckle-sandwich!"
My big brother Tony thinks he's real tough. Hmph! But last week, I beat him in arm-wrestling and he cried for two hours! But don't tell 'em I told you, all right?
You know, I'm really the best player here, but I just pretend to goof up all the time, just to make the other kids fell better about themselves, you know?

Backyard Baseball 2023[]

Backyard Basketball[]

You know, excellent basketball runs in my family. My great aunt Paula was one of the first women to dunk the basketball. Of course, she was seven foot two, and she had a beard.
You know Shaquille O'Neal? He's one of my favorite superstars.
Try that one!
Hey! Pass the ball!
Say what?

It's me. Angela Delvecchio.
My favorite football players are Steve Young, Joe Elway, and Cade McNown.

Backyard Football 2004[]

Hey, there. My name's Angela and I've been playing football since way back. I got a good arm on me for pitchin' and I'm tough from fightin' with my creepy brother Tony all the time. So you can put me in most any position out there, OK?

Backyard Hockey[]

Yo, Angela here! But don't let the name fool ya! I'm an angel of destruction on the ice! Nobody messes with my team or I’d cream 'em, see?!
You know my brother Tony? What a puck-schmuck! I can take it away from that clown, you know?!
I love hockey, because it's fast and physical, and it gives me a chance to lay my brother Tony out flat! What a goon that guy he is!
You know, my aunt Gina makes these cookies that look just like hockey pucks. Uh-huh. They taste like them, too!
You know Mario Lemieux and Wayne Gretzky? They're my favorite hockey players.

Backyard Soccer[]

Check that one out! Hey, Tony. How do you like that one, huh?
Come on, kid. Let's see what you've got.
Give it your best shot, why don't you? Won't make it anyway.
Hey, you tried, but I'm so good.
I'm gonna forget that ever happened.
I'm gonna score, you know.
I'm the best goalie ever, for sure.
Let's see if you can stop this one, fancypants.
Listen here. You ain't gonna score.
Naturally!
Oh. Now look what you made me do!
Oh, beautiful.
Oh great. That's all I need.
The name's Angela. Angela Delvecchio. And I’m probably the best at soccer, you know. For sure. Not that I’m bragging or anything, but I am good. I've got a natural athleticism that comes from my mother's sight of the family. My brother Tony. He takes after my pop's sight of the family, and always than one, if you know what I mean.
Told you. Take that weak stuff somewhere else.
Watch this one. I'm gonna score, for sure.
Yes!
My mother stays home all day and bakes cookies and cakes for my pop and brother. I don't eat that sugary stuff because I don't want to rot my teeth. I went to the dentist last week and she said I didn't have any cavities. Naturally. I have perfect teeth.
I'm pretty smart and I'm only in the third grade. I think I'm about as smart as an eighth grader, ya know, but I don't want to brag or nuthin. It's not that I think I'm some hotsy-totsy Albert Einstein or nuthin, but I shouldn't have to act dumb or nuthin, or pretend that I'm dumb like my brother Tony who is I swear a complete knucklehead, ya know.
One time my family and me went over to Vinnie's house, you know Vinnie the Gooch who does the color commentary for Backyard Baseball. I think his pop and my mom are 2nd cousins or something, or maybe third cousins once removed or something like that. So we go over there and we're like eating this antipasto before the regular dinner, and of course me and Tony and Vinnie and Vinnie's brothers are sitting at the kids table ya know and Vinnie said something really funny and I don't know what it was, but Tony was drinking some milk and I swear he laughed so hard the milk was coming out of his nose. And he's like so proud of himself like he's some kind of clown or somethin. What a pig.
After the game we should go over to my pop's store. He can make us all milkshakes. I like milkshakes. I think everyone likes milkshakes fer sure. My favorite is peanut butter and chocolate. It's not a regular flavor ya know. My pop makes it special just for me.
My aunt's husband's 2nd cousin plays soccer over in Italy, a real professional and everything. I think he lives in Rome or something. They really like soccer over in Italy, ya know. Italy last won the World cup in 1982, but that was before my time.

Backyard Swimming[]

I'm very good at swimming. You should pick me.
Okey-Dokey! It’s swimmin' time!
Hi there, bucko. Angela Delvecchio here. I’m a mean, lean, super swimmin' machine!
One time, my pop took me to swim class, and I had to put on floaties. Then we both hold hands, then I had to make bubbles. Weird story, eh?
One time, at Maria Luna's birthday pool party, we were in our swimsuits, and we were taking turns hitting the piñata. But just then, when I was getting ready, I wet both myself and my swimsuit, and everyone laughed so hard, and I even laughed too! Is it hysterical or something?
When I'm not swimming at my house, I get to sing songs and do funny voices. Not only I'm an athlete, I'm also a singer, an actress, a comedian and a stand up comedian. I auditioned for the role of Ariel from The Little Mermaid, and the audition went really well!
My big brother Tony thinks he's so tough. But one time, we were playing water polo and at the end, Tony actually wet his swim trunks and everyone laughed really hard, and he cried! Aw man, don't tell him I told you, OK?
I can’t wait to rock the pool!
