Mr. Clanky

==About==
Mr. Clanky is a sports playing robot who is most often seen throwing batting practice in baseball, and being the referee in football, basketball, and soccer. Mr. Clanky is an unlockable character in Backyard Baseball 2001, 2003, and Backyard Football 2002. He is meant to be unlocked for the single game mode, but thanks to Save State Hacking, you can put Mr. Clanky on your season team if you would like!

Mr. Clanky has some pop in his bat, but he won't hit a home run every time. Even if it doesn't go out, he has enough gap power and the wheels, er....wheel, to get a double out of it. 
As if it needs to be said, Clanky is undoubtedly the best pitcher in the game, sporting among the best pitching stats of any player a pretty dominant margin. Ironically, though, he actually is a terrible power-up pitcher, but this is made up for by his more interesting trait...
The funny thing about Mr. Clanky being a robot is that he has infinite stamina. He is the only character (besides a modified custom player) that doesn't lose any juice from running, pitching, etc. He will never get tired, ever. This means he's not only the best pitcher statistically, but he can also play for as long as a game could physically go on for at 100% effectiveness. This trait is strong on the mound, but it's arguably even more useful in other ways. You can get Mr. Clanky into a pickle on the basepaths and tire out the opposing fielders while never tiring out yourself. This move is highly discouraged, and is banned in a competitive league. His arm is also devastatingly powerful, being at max strength with fairly solid accuracy, and because his stamina makes it so he can't get tired in any fashion, he will be able to throw from any distance forever.
So how is Clanky a "balanced" character? What prevents him from being best of the best? Well, he's not exactly very fast (he's as slow as a 6/10 in running can be), and he's physically incapable of sliding. He also is much shorter than one would expect, at only 3/5 height. This, combined with his fairly mediocre glove and large tendency to prefer playing high priority positions like First Base or Shortstop, makes him a below average fielder. Although catcher is actually a very solid place for him to go too, due to his high vision, the fact that if the AI pitcher gets tired he will always come in, leaving the tired catcher to play that position, it's best to just keep him on the mound. He was made to pitch, so let him pitch.

Mr. Clanky (whose real name is the Pass-O-Matic 3000) certainly puts up an argument for why robots will one day take over the world. Getting tremendously buffed from the original Football, he and the rest of the Practice Bots of his "Tackling Dummies" roster are virtually unstoppable. With a height of 5/5, one of the best passing arms in the game, perfect catching, perfect speed, great kicking ability, blah blah blah, he's undoubtedly the best character in the entire game with literally no competition. He makes all the best human players look like Ronny Dobbs in comparison. Clanky knew he was too powerful for anyone's good, which is why he chose to become the commissioner and referee. Thank you Mr. Clanky, for sparing us all from you and your robot friends.
... Unless you name your new coach "MrClanky", in which you gain access to him and his entire team, in which you, the player, can now wreak havoc among all of the puny mortal children who dared play a game of such violent nature.
==League History==
===BBL===
====Season 3====
Mr. Clanky was made available in the BBL for the first time in Season 3. He was selected in the first round, with the 12th pick overall, by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays and coach areyoutyler. Clanky was a valuable member of the Devil Rays, pitching every single inning and batting 5th in the lineup.
====Season 4====
In season 4, Mr. Clanky was drafted by newcomer Kiiiiiiiiiiiiis to the White White Sox with the 35th overall pick in the second round. Here, Mr. Clanky reached new height with impressive stats at the plate, and his usual dominance on the mound. The White Sox won the Season 4 championship with Clanky on the mound.
====Season 5 - Lulu====
Mr. Clanky was chosen with the first pick of the second round by danbrink13 of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Stats were incomplete for this team, but Mr. Clanky did not achieve as much success as he had in previous iterations of the BBL.
==== Season 6 ====
Clanky was taken with pick #28 in the second round by coach shrewsbury91 of the Cardinals. Clanky didn't have a great season at the plate, but he was incredible on the mound once again. He set league records with 88 innings pitched and 127 strikeouts thrown. He was voted as the Ace Wilson Award winner by the other coaches around the league. 
==== Season 7 ====
Mr. Clanky was taken with the last pick in the first round by coach Nate of the Angels. For the first time in his career, Clanky played somewhere other than pitcher, although he did pitch most of the season. He also led the Angels in home runs and RBIs.
==== Season 8 ====
Mr. Clanky was picked even higher this season, with the #13th overall pick by coach MartianMan of the Rockies. Clanky was the Rockies' main pitcher, but towards the end of the season, MartianMan tried to give everybody else a chance to pitch. 
In Week 13, Mr. Clanky took home NL Batter of the Week honors after hitting two home runs, including the go-ahead home run for the Rockies in extra innings on their side of the game (even though they ended up losing to the Blue Jays). 
==== Season 9 ====
In Season 9, Mr. Clanky fell to the second round, where he was taken with the 27th overall pick by coach shrewsbury91 of the Marlins. His batting stats were nearly identical to his previous season, but he improved greatly on the mound. The last time shrewsbury coached Clanky, he won the Ace Wilson Award. This time, he was in the running, and although he didn't win, he still tossed 84 innings with a 1.00 ERA and 108 strikeouts. 
==== Season 10 ====
===== 2001 =====
In the 2001 league of Season 10, Clanky was taken 24th overall, in the second round, by coach jlund24, whose team eventually became the Expos coached by MartianMan. Mr. Clanky had a pretty rough season, batting a career low 0.381 and recording a 3.01 ERA on the mound. 
===== 2003 =====
In the 2003 league, Mr. Clanky went with the 32nd overall pick in the second round, where he was taken by coach elchrisblanco of the Fishes. Clanky did rather well at the plate, batting 0.661 and driving in 18 runs while scoring 24 himself, but he struggled on the mound again, racking up a 2.80 ERA.

=== BFFL ===
While Mr. Clanky is a playable character, using his Tackling Dummies in a regular season is both glitchy and too unfair for fantasy football purposes. Therefore, Mr. Clanky had never been available to draft in the BFFL. That is, until Season 6, when the first manually edited coach file was used for a BFFL season. Mr. Clanky was able to play for the user-controlled team without having to use the Tackling Dummies. He played wide receiver for the user-controlled 49ers and was their star offensive player. 
==Trivia==
*Mr. Clanky holds the BBL record for hits in a season, when he tallied 83 hits for the White White Sox and coach Kiiiiiiiiiiiiis.
*Mr. Clanky pitched every single inning for the first four seasons of his BBL career.
