## Scouting Reports

### Backyard Baseball 2001 and 2003

Billy Jean Blackwood

* Plays worse when on the same team as Marky Dubois. Batting:3, Running,5, Pitching:3, Fielding:1

Billy Jean has the ideal first baseman’s body, with legs longer than the Mississippi River. As for the ideal first baseman’s skill, you might have to keep looking. She’s impossible to overthrow, but doesn’t catch everything thrown her way. Her hitting is an 8/10, but that seems to be a little inflated. She can’t hit for power and her swing only covers the top half of the strike zone. When she runs, it looks like she is trying to run while on stilts (hence the nickname Crazy Legs). And don’t even *think* about putting her on the same team as Marky Dubois.

Billy Jean has a high priority to play first base for the AI, which is helpful because that's clearly her best position in the field.

## League History

### BBL

#### Season 1

Despite only 76 available players out of a league of 72 players, Billy Jean was not selected by any team and did not participate in Season 1.

#### Season 2

Billy Jean was finally chosen to play for the first time by coach GreenDayEagles of the Rockies. However, she was one of the least productive players on the team, only creating 4.9 runs over the whole season.

#### Season 3

Billy Jean was actually not drafted in Season 3, but was picked up in free agency before the start of the season by coach ArGarBarGar of the Athletics. Billy Jean had arguably an even worse season than in season 2, only batting .300 and scoring just 5 runs.

#### Season 4

Billy Jean was drafted in the 7th round with the 160th overall pick by coach SDCore coaching the Padres. She had her best season here, although that is partly because coach Mavfatha took over near the end of the season and had a few big games with the Padres squad.

#### Season 5 - Lulu

BBL legend gmchappe drafted Billy Jean for his Red Sox with the 161st overall pick in the 8th round. Billy Jean had a pretty good season, notching career highs in runs scored and stolen bases.

#### Season 6

The Expos and coach Jarod Johnson picked Billy Jean with the 81st overall pick in the 4th round. Billy Jean hit her first and only career home run in this season.

#### Season 7

For the first time in BBL history, Billy Jean was paired with Marky Dubois to take advantage of the significant boost to Marky's attributes, at the expense of Billy Jean's attribute. Coach Mavfatha of the Orioles selected Billy Jean with the 152nd pick in the 7th round. This teammate pairing result in one of Billy Jean's worst seasons yet, as her card ratings decreased from 8/6/4/4 to 3/5/3/1. Billy Jean batted a paltry 0.286, with zero extra base hits, just 5 runs scored, and only 2 RBI. Marky's boost turned out to not be very effective either, leading coach Mavfatha to state that pairing the two was a regrettable decision.

#### Season 8

Billy Jean was taken with the 171st overall pick in the 8th round by coach areyoutyler of the Rangers. Her season was a little better than her previous effort, although not by much. Billy Jean did not walk or strike out the entire season. The Rangers went 7-7 and missed the playoffs.

#### Season 9

In Season 9, Billy Jean was drafted in the 6th round with the 126th overall pick by coach GuySmiley of the Bombers. However, after the Bombers' scandal, the team was disbanded.

##### 2001

The next season, Billy Jean returned and actually participated. She was drafted in the 7th round with the 151st overall pick by coach Eauxps I. Fourgott of the Blue Jays, who was forming an "all-tall" team. Billy Jean was the weakest link in the lineup, batting just 0.359, driving in 0 runs and only scoring twice herself.

##### 2003

In the 2003 league, Billy Jean was drafted 111th overall to kick off the 6th round, taken by coach c0rn of the Indians, although this team would eventually become coached by Madoc.
