EXT. PUBLIC POOL - DAY
                        
          ...chucks his boney butt into the hedges. The guys scramble
          out, dragging their clothes after them. They help Squints
          up.
                        
                          HAM
           Did you plan that?!
                        
                          SQUINTS
           A'course I did. Been plannin' it for
           years.
                        
          They let Squints walk out front:
                        
                          NARRATOR
           Michael "Squints" Palledorous walked a
           little taller that day. And we had to
           tip our hats to him. He was lucky she
           hadn't beat the crap out of him. We
           wouldn't have blamed her. What he'd
           done was sneaky, rotten and low.
                          (BEAT)
           And cool.
                          (BEAT)
           Not another one among us would've ever,
           even for a million dollars, had the
           guts to put the move on the Lifeguard.
           He did. He had kissed a woman. And
           he kissed her long and good.
                          (BEAT)
           We got banned from the pool forever
           that day... but every time we walked
           by after that, the Lifeguard looked
           down from her watchtower, right over
           at Squints... and smiled.
                        
          INT. SCOTTY'S ROOM - NIGHT
                        
          Scotty pours over his "Baseball Stuff To Remember" list: 2.
          Maury Wills, 3. Mickey Mantle, 4. Willie Mays, 5. Hank Aaron,
          6. Stan Musial, 7. Lou Brock, 8. Luis Aparicio, 9. Brooks
          Robinson, 10. Frank Robinson, 11. Bob Uecker. Right Field is
          near the green fence. Left Field is in the left. Double play
          gets two outs. Triple play is impossible. Single is good.
          Double is better. Home run is best. And, ominously, "Don't
          get in a pickle or you're dead!" And one entry that's double
          question marked: 1. The Great Bambino??

                        
          EXT. SANDLOT - SUNSET
                        
          The Guys play in magic hour. CRACK!
                        
everyone; *jaws drop*

                         BENNY
                        
          jolts a high fly to
                        
                         SCOTTY
                        
          in right field. No problem now. He backpedals, judging.
                         CLOSER TO
                        
          MR. MERTLE'S FENCE
                        
          then, SNATCH! Scotty makes a clean catch.
                        

*everyone claps*

                         BENNY
                        
          gives Scotty "Thumbs Up." Just as
                        
                         SCOTTY'S
                        
          gonna throw the ball back, he shivers, noticing that the sun
          has fallen to a precise declination; its rays focused behind
