Pete Wheeler is a recurring playable character in the ''Backyard Sports'' series. He is notable for his physical speed, yet mental slowness.
Physical Appearance
Pete is shown to have orange hair. He is relatively tall, and wears a white pullover.
Personality
Pete is portrayed as being a slow-witted person, however, he is one of the fastest players in the league. In Backyard Football 99 and 2002, he states he is purposely dumb (as his head hurts if he thinks too hard). Football is his favorite sport.

Pete Wheeler Theme Song
Pete's theme from the original Backyard Baseball
Point Pete in the right direction, and tell him to run. No one will catch him. And his mighty swing is legendary, if he makes contact, that is.

Pete may swing at a lot of bad pitches, but when he makes contact... WHAMMO! This kid can tear it up on the base pads too - just remind him which way to run... and when to say stop... and that the name of the game is 'Baseball' not 'Football'.

When Pete runs, no one can catch him. When Pete kicks, no one can guess where it'll go. Guess them's the breaks.

Pete isn't the smartest guy in class. In fact, he can barely tie his shoes. Pete's great as long as you keep it simple. Just give ol' Pete the ball and get out of the way!
