Sunny Day Edit. Appears as the commentator in all Backyard Sports games up until 2009. She speaks with the voice of a broadcaster-woman. An African-American girl, she has brown hair and wears a blue vest most often. Vincent (Vinnie) the Gooch Edit. The first color commentator in Backyard Baseball, and the entire series as a whole. Backyard Sports, formerly called Junior Sports, is a sports video game series originally made by Humongous Entertainment, which was later bought by Atari.It is currently owned by Day6 Sports Group, who has since rebooted it as a Mobile Phone Game series, which is far from the series' original computer game roots.
Inspired by an article by Zach Kram at the Ringer last year, Bobby and Alex take a deep dive into the history of “Backyard Baseball,” the kids-video-game-turned-cult-classic that they grew up with. They bring on Nick Mirkovich, one of the game’s co-creators, to talk about the game’s inception and its evolution through the years, and speculate on why the game remains so firmly embedded in the minds of this generation. They dive into the colorful personalities of each character and reminisce on what made the game so special in the first place. It’s a full-on nostalgia sesh, featuring real gameplay and cameos from Sunny Day, Vinnie the Gooch, and the one and only Pablo Sanchez.
Do you want to play the game too and get all the memories rushing back? Here’s how!

- Achmed Khan's story about a rock concert at his school. When he gets to the part where one of the guitarists broke a string, he lets out an unexpected crazy scream.
- Dante Robinson's chatter, especially 'I see London, I see France, I see your underpants!'
- Keisha Phillips has a couple of good lines.Keisha: (during the chatter) Watch out, Batman! Here comes The Joker!
Keisha: (when getting picked) I knew you were smart, a real stinker—I mean thinker. - One of the phrases Pablo Sanchez says when he strikes out is 'Este bate no sirve para nada.' which translates to 'This bat is useless.'
- During the credits:No hot dogs were consumed in the making of this game.
Okay, maybe a few. - Almost anything involving Vinnie the Gooch.Sunny Day: Say 'hello', Vinnie.
Vinnie: Hello, Vinnie.
Vinnie: I wouldn't want to meet this kid in a dark alley. I wouldn't want to meet him in a light alley, either. Alleys are scary!

- Achmed Khan's 'rock song'.Achmed: Rock! Rock! Everybody rock! Everybody love the heavy rocking guitar! Yeah!
- One of the rejected names for Achmed Khan's band was Ham Sandwich.
- If you hold down Shift while clicking on Pablo Sanchez, he will say in English that he dreamed about a burrito.
- Chuck Downfield sacked himself. Twice.
- Pete Wheeler's dad apparently holds the record for most rushing yards in a single game of Backyard Football. Only for all those yards to be going the wrong way, resulting in multiple safeties for the other team. The other team won.
- When Dante Robinson scores a touchdown, his celebration is running to the concession stand and running back with a tray of food and starts eating it in the endzone.
- In most of the later games, when you create a custom player and don't give him any stats, they tend to just use all the '(s)he's not the best in [category]' type description for every stat. In this game, however, if you make a custom player and leave all the stats at one, the description? 'This kid is not a strong player.'
- The player bios have two ways of explaining how Dmitri Petrovich got his nickname of 'Paste'. Dmitri will be upfront about it but Jorge Garcia's depiction is funnier.Jorge: You haven't by chance seen Mr. Petrovich around, have you? He's the rather large boy who eats paste.

- Sunny Day poking fun at Buddy Cheque for wearing a girl's jacket, with the latter getting defensive. Turns out, it's a hand-me down since Buddy has six older sisters.
- Buddy Cheque ending a game commentary with a word from a sponsor.Buddy: If you're nice on your windows, go get you a Straight-co! Man, who writes this garbage, Sunny?'
