We all walk to the drug store just a few blocks down. There, all the other guys wait for us. Benny tells me they are playing a game of some sort.

Ham repeats the word over and over, but still, no one was getting it. Ham takes his beef stick out of his mouth and yells. "I'm the Great Bambino!!" Everyone groans.

"Who's that?" Smalls asks, we all look at him like he's crazy. "Did you just ask who the Great Bambino was?" I ask. Obviously, I knew who it was. Everyone did! "Oh, uh yeah.. I just thought he said.. Bambi!" Smalls says, everyone laughs at him.

"That wimpy dear?" Ham says, Smalls nods as we walk to the baseball field. "Benny, I don't think these other guys like Smalls." I whisper to Benny. He nods in agreement when we hear the other guys complaining about Smalls.

"Well, he makes eight, so stop whining." Benny says the guys name people who could've made eight, Timmy said me, which I thought was sweet. "Face it, Benny. Then kid is a L7 WENNIEEE!!" Squints yells as he makes a square with his hands.

Benny and I get annoyed by the team when Yeah-Yeah adds to it, calling Smalls a square. "Who are you to talk Yeah Yeah? You run like a duck." I say, ticked off by him. Benny laughs a bit and nods in agreement.

Yeah-Yeah, stutters, trying to find a response to get the attention off of him. "But, but.." He says. "But your apart of the game, right?" Benny says, Yeah-Yeah nods.

"Then how come he don't get to be?" I say they all talk about how he can't throw or catch and how he's a square. "Man, base up you, blockheads!" Benny says as everyone scatters across the field into their spots.

I sit close to home base this time so I can get a closer look at Benny. Benny hits the ball to second base, Bertram catches the ball and throws it to first base. Tommy throws the ball back to Benny, and Benny hits it to Smalls.

Smalls, of course, doesn't catch it. Benny sighs as I stand up and walk out to outfield. "I got it." I say stopping Benny from walking with me. Benny smirks at me and holds his hands up. "Alright, Hermosa." He says.

I walk to the outfield, and Smalls looks embarrassed. "Do you know how to throw and catch the ball?" I ask him, he kicks some dirt and shakes his head. I sigh.

"Well, have you ever thrown out newspapers??" I ask. "No, but I've helped a guy once." He says. I then explain the whole thing to him and throw Benny back the ball. He smiles at me as he gets ready to bat again.

I stay in the outfield, just to watch Smalls, in case he needs more help. Benny hits the ball to Smalls again. "Please catch it, please catch it.." I say to myself.

Smalls keeps his glove up, and his eyes shut tight. The ball comes flying towards him, and then.. he catches it!! "Oh my God, Smalls!! You caught it!" I say as I jump up and down.

Everyone celebrates and continues the game!
