Physical Appearance
Edit
Ernie Steele is tall and skinny, but still up there for one of the most athletic. In Backyard Baseball, he had good power and contact for hitting. He was average at speed but his defense was good.
PersonalityEdit
Throughout most of the games, Ernie has always been known for his constant joking and his generally silly personality. He even sees himself as a joke. In 'Wild Pitch' however he is seen as a lot snarkier than in the games.
Player CardsEdit
Everyone loves Ernie because he is so silly, and a good ball player too. With great catching and a decent arm, Ernie is a great choice for 2nd or 3rd base.

Ernie can hit. Ernie can run. Ernie can catch. Ernie can play a mean first base. The only thing Ernie can't do, apparently, is find a pair of pants that fit his long legs. Believe it or not, he thinks his jokes are funny. Humor him.

Ernie is one of the silliest kids around. He's also one of the tallest. Put 'em together and you have one tall, silly kid. That's Ernie.
