Angela Delvecchio (born December 20,[1] nicknamed "Sugar Pop") is an Italian-American character in the Backyard Sports series. She is rumored to have "two left feet" and her inner-sibling rivalry with her older brother is made very apparent.
Physical Appearance
1997-2002
Angela has long brown hair, and she wears a white shirt, a blue vest, and a blue skirt. She has no visible eyebrows.
2002-2006
Her outfit changes a bit in Backyard Hockey; her vest is button-up from the top.
2006-2010
She wears a black shirt with a pink heart logo and pants. She also wears a pink shirt under her first shirt.
Personality
Angela is a good kid who can be energetic at times. She is one of the slowest in the league, but she can kick well. Angela likes to make fun of Tony's egocentrism and bragging as she separates herself from her brother. It is not wise to put her on the same team with her brother because they do not work well with each other. If they play against each other, however, both siblings step up their game. In some sports, Angela is better than Tony like in football, Angela beat Tony in it. (Tony mentions this in Backyard Football 2008.)
Skills
In the original Backyard Baseball series, she had very good pitching stats however this was hampered by her subpar running and horrible fielding statistics. If played against her brother Tony Delvecchio, her stats would increase. Angela shares her stats with generic kids Betty Houstan[3] and Bobby Bulgrien[3]. By the Soccer and Football series, her kicking statistic was above average and would often place her in the Kicker position.
Player Cards
Despite her poor arm strength, Angela is a great pitcher. Her pitches are slipperier than her brother Tony's hair.

Fielding |
Angela isn't the best fielder. In fact, they should let her use two gloves. What she lacks in defense, however, she more than makes up for at the bat. And on the mound, forget about it - this girl is all that AND a bag of chips!

She may not be the fastest kid in town, but when she boots the ball, watch out. Her right foot is bigger than her brother Tony's hair.

Angela's got two left feet. Just get out the way when she uses them. She can kick that ball to the moon. Her clumsiness makes her a liability on offense, but on defense it almost helps her.

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

Angela Delvecchio has something big brother Tony never had: An outside shot! Unfortunately, while Angela can put up a lot of points in a hurry, she usually gives up just as much on defense.

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.

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.
