Lisa Crocket[2] (born December 4, nicknamed "Mad Dog") is a recurring playable character in the Backyard Sports series. She generally has an introverted personality, performs mime, and doesn't talk a lot like Calvin Coolidge. However, she is a viable athlete throughout many games of the Backyard Sports series.
Appearance
1997-2001
Lisa has dark brown hair and blue eyes. She wears giant purple eyeglasses, has red shoes, and wears a white, button up blouse and a pink skirt. In Backyard Baseball (1997) only, she wears a yellow baseball cap.
2002-2005
Lisa wears much smaller rectangular glasses. She wears a brown dress shirt, a blue skirt, and mismatched (blue and white) socks.
Personality
Lisa is very secretive, and she rarely speaks. She talks in a flat, monotone voice. In some games, such as Backyard Baseball 2003, Lisa's speech mostly consists of unintelligible mumbling. She tends to carry a serious demeanor. She isn't very friendly, but she makes up for it with her good performance in games.
Player Cards & Skills
Lisa Crocket's generic counterparts Holly Franklin and Fernando Diaz don't differ much in the slightest when it comes to Backyard Baseball.
No one knows much about Lisa, but they do know this: she is all business. And she has a mean left hook.

Lisa, a very serious soccer player, is a strong and determined force to be reckoned with on a soccer field. She is a good soccer player who some in the league think is conceited. That's really not the case, she's just very shy and doesn't have the people skills that some of the other kids have.

Lisa doesn't say much, and usually doesn't do much on the floor, but this shy, mild mannered girl can go ballistic if pushed too far. They don't call her 'Mad Dog' for nothing.

Lisa is a quiet, reserved girl who likes to express herself through her art. The lane in her canvas, her hands and elbows are her brushes, and every inside basket, blocked shot, rebound and hard foul is a lovingly applied stroke of paint.

Trivia
- Her second name originally had one T, later games added a second T after Backyard Hockey.
- Her appearance, voice, and mannerisms are based on Daria Morgendorffer.[3]
- Lisa normally gives short, blunt responses on her player profiles. If her card is clicked on enough times in Soccer and Football, however, Lisa will tell a short story. In Soccer, she tells a story about a girl named Little Mary Sunshine who woke up one day and became mean. In Football, she tells a brief story about a girl who didn't like vegetables, but was forced by her mother to eat them anyway.
