==About==
Marty Cordova is a former big league outfielder who played from 1995 to 2003, mostly for the Minnesota Twins. By the time Backyard Baseball 2001 was released, Cordova's contract with the Twins had expired, he had been signed and cut by the Boston Red Sox, and signed again by the Toronto Blue Jays. By the time the 2001 MLB season actually began, Cordova was on the Cleveland Indians.

Marty is known as one of the worst pros in the game, both because of his lack of real life success, and because none of his ratings on his player card are greater than 7. However, Marty does have some redeeming qualities. He has a stellar throwing arm, with 95 power and 76 accuracy. His bat isn't terrible, he has 69 batting power and 46 contact. He also can be a useful pitcher, with an 89/100 left hook and an 85/100 right hook. 
==League History==
===BBL===
====Season 1====
Marty was first picked with the 52nd overall pick by coach GSchlim of the Braves, although he was eventually traded to coach Yurya of the Monsters. Marty was the diamond in the rough for the Monsters, leading the team in home runs and total bases, while finishing second in batting average, runs scored, and RBIs. One highlight of Marty's season was hitting a home run naturally over the left field building at Tin Can Alley, possibly the first player in BBL history to do so. 
Marty finished 5th in MVP voting, although his own teammate Derek Jeter finished 3rd. 
====Season 2====
Marty's draft stock improved slightly as he was drafted with the 49th pick, once again by coach GSchlim, for the Angels. This season, Schlim held on to Marty, but his numbers at the plate took a step back. He also pitched the most innings for the Angels this season.
====Season 9====
Seasons 3 through 8 took place exclusively on Backyard Baseball 2003, so 2001-only pros like Marty Cordova could not be used. However, Season 9 combined the two versions of the game, so 2001 pros were back in the mix. Marty was drafted 81st overall in the 4th round by coach bobbyJONES2370 of the Angels. Marty had a rough season at the plate, hitting just one home run and driving in 12 RBIs.
