A/n: I do not own The Sandlot or any of the characters and pictures used! I only own Allison Mertle!

I lived with my grandpa, Thelonius Mertle, ever since my parents died when I was 10. I had just turned 14 and I knew that year would be different.
I was out in the backyard petting Hercules when I heard some laughing. I peeked over the fence to see 8 kids in the diamond and one kid not far from the fence. Before I knew it the boy ran away and the boy with dark black hair and a LA hat followed him.
The next day I saw them all playing baseball again. I hopped on the fence and sat down, it wasn't very comfortable considering it was a backyard fence but I would survive.
I watched as they played for a few minutes when the same kid with the baseball cap and dark hair hit a home run knocking the ball towards me. I stuck my hand out and caught it without a glove, sitting on a fence. To say the least they looked at me like I was crazy.
"Get down from there girl!" One with big glasses yelled.
"No!" Another screamed.
I just laughed and hopped down from the fence as they all ran towards me.
"What the hell were you doing broad?" The one with red hair practically screamed.
"Yeah, yeah you coulda killed yourself". Another said. I just laughed.
"You want your ball or not?" They all stared at me.
"Staring ain't polite. Let me pitch then y'all can have your ball back." One boy with darker skin walked towards me and shook his head as though I've failed a test.
"Benny man she can't pitch that's my job, besides she a girl."
" Yeah, yeah."
"Y'all say it like it's a disease let me pitch and you can get the ball back simple. But I want him," I said pointing to who the boy called Benny. "to bat."
"Alright let's do this."
They all rolled their eyes as I walked to the mound.
"Alright here we go." I got into position, wound up and threw the ball with all my might. I watched with a smirk as Benny missed the ball. I smiled and turned around before waking back to the fence. They all started running towards me agin and I just laughed before hauling myself up to the top of the fence.
"What are you doing you're going to get yourself killed!"
"The Beast lives there!"
I just shook my head before jumping down on my side of then fence hearing all of their screams. Chuckling I pulled myself up once agin.
"Calm down I'll be out tomorrow have fun." I said while they stared at me in disbelief. I ran inside to tell my grandpa what had happened.
"Then they all stared at me as I jumped back over the fence!"
"I see I taught you well Allison." He said chuckling. I nodded and headed to get some dinner before going to bed.
