Fielding	
Maria is a line drive hitter who has decent speed. She will hit mostly singles, and a few doubles from time to time. In the field, she can track down most balls in the outfield and has a standard throwing arm. She's not very useful on the mound.
However, when Maria's team colors are pink, she turns into a superhero. She is boosted to 9/9/9/10. She can suddenly hit for power, and her contact results in doubles in the gap. Her speed increases and she becomes a base stealer. She is transformed into an ace pitcher. And she's a menace in the field, catching every ball in her vicinity and throwing it effortlessly.

Maria is a fantastic wide receiver. She's a little short, but she can still wrangle some balls away from taller defenders. If she's open, she will catch everything in her grasp. She doesn't have the fastest breakaway speed, but it's decent enough if she is left open. On defense, she's a decent cornerback, and her hands help her out once again. Try her at quarterback if you want a challenging season. 
==League History==
===BBL===
====Season 1====
Maria was first taken in the 7th round, in the days before she was permanently pink-boosted, by coach GSchlim of the Braves. She played left field and although she was the worst batter on the team, she still hit 0.500 and became a World Series champion.
====Season 2====
In Season 2, Maria was drafted 58th overall in the 8th round by coach Ellman of the Indians. She played outfield once again and had stats similar to her Season 1 numbers. 
====Season 3====
With an all-pink team, coach crazyei8hts took Maria with the first pick of the second round for his Wombats. Her offensive stats improved drastically, and it was discovered during this season that Maria could use this boost on any team, as long as the main team "color" was pink, even for a pro team. 
====Season 4====
With the pink Maria knowledge at hand, Eauxps I. Fourgott drafted her for the Melonheads with the 5th overall pick. She didn't quite have the same numbers as the previous year, but she was still great, and she pitched a few innings on the mound as well. 
====Season 5 - Lulu====
Maria slipped to the 24th overall pick in the second round by coach mbless1415 of the Twins. She improved in many statistical categories, even though only 10 games of stats were recorded. She also threw a perfect game. 
====Season 6====
Maria found her way back to Eauxps I. Fourgott and the Melonheads after being selected with the 34th overall pick in the second round. She had much better stats in her second go-around with the Melonheads. 
==== Season 7 ====
Pink Maria returned again, this time being taken with the 27th pick in the 2nd round by coach Nate of the Angels. For the first time since the Pink Maria discovery, she was not used as a pitcher at all, as Mr. Clanky did most of the Angels' pitching. However, she was awesome at the plate, batting a scorching 0.842 with 23 RBI, 43 runs, and 20 stolen bases. She set several career highs. For her efforts, she was voted in as the 9th all-star for the Indoor League.
==== Season 8 ====
Maria was taken with the last pick of the first round, pick #24, by coach Mavfatha of the Orioles. Maria was one of the better batters in the lineup and also the starting pitcher. Unfortunately, the Orioles went 5-9 and missed the playoffs.
==== Season 9 ====
With an expanded player pool, and player position locks removed, Maria's draft stock fell a bit. She was drafted 45th overall in the second round by coach Eauxps I. Fourgott of the Melonheads, whom she had played for a few times before. She had her best season as a Melonhead, batting 0.683 with 9 home runs, 25 RBIs, and 27 runs scored. 
==== Season 10 ====
===== 2001 =====
Pink Maria returned in Season 10. In the 2001 league, she was taken 33rd overall in the 2nd round by coach crazyei8hts of the Rockies. Maria had similar numbers to her Season 9 output, batting 0.672 with 5 homers and 26 RBIs, which was third on the team. She also found success as a pitcher, sharing time with Betty Houston on the mound.
===== 2003 =====
Maria was even more highly sought after in the 2003 league, taken in the first round with the 21st overall pick by coach bobbyBONES2370 of the Astros. Maria was second on the team with a 0.624 batting average and led the team with 21 runs scored. For the first time since Season 2 (when she was unboosted), she did not pitch at all.

==Trivia==
* There is an error in the script that gives Maria her pink boost, and therefore the boost only works properly if she is playing left field at the end of the previous game, or if the player drafted her first. However, if she is in a different spot, she can be placed back in left field through Save State Hacking before you start the next game.
**This error was fixed in the modified .(b) file that was used in Season 9.
*Maria cannot slide, as all other characters (besides Kenny Kawaguchi) can. This is believed to just be an oversight by the developers.
