It was just another hot day, and it was unbearable to stay inside. July 3rd, the day before July 4th. Benny was out playing with his boys baseball on the sandlot, like any other day.

Your parents were out of town, and your sister, Wendy, was out too. You decided to go outside, despite almost half the boys in town having a crush on you and your sister. Including Benny and his friends, The Sandlot boys.

Benny had his hands ready on his baseball bat, his eye on the ball before it’s thrown. Before he heard Squints yell out your name, and his head turns to see you walking nearby. His eyes go wide. For a moment, he isn’t sure if he should let you know they’re playing here nearby or not.
