Tony Delvecchio is an Italian-American and older brother of Angela Delvecchio. He brags about how good he is at sports but a pretty good player around the league.

Physical Appearance

Tony is a Caucasian with a purple t-shirt (comes with a silver vest over it), jeans, and white low tops, making him dressed like 1950's greaser. He has dark brown hair with bangs. In later games, like Backyard Baseball 2005, he looks different because his hair looks like an afro with a curly bang. In Sandlot Sluggers he wears dark jeans, a black shirt, leather jacket, sneakers, and his hair is even slicker.

Personality

Tony is a bragger of the group and thinks that he is the best there is in the league. He is pretty good in every sport but does not like his sister, Angela on the same team with him. Tony also has the tendency to overwork himself at sports. In the book " Inside the Edge" , he played on his older brother, Vinny and his friends' team at the same time. Tony became overworked being on the same team but wants to become the best player he can be.

Nobody has a stronger throwing arm than Tony Delvecchio... or a bigger ego! Vic has all the skills to be a superstar in this league, if he can learn to keep his cool. Also, he seems to step it up a notch when he plays against his sister, Angela.

Tony talks a pretty good game and at the defensive end he backs it up. It would be a mistake to dribble past Tony.
