BEHIND A DRUGSTORE, THE RESTof the baseball team were chattering away, trying to make the time go seeing that Benny and Jordan haven't arrived yet. They wanted to play a game that doesn't have a name to it, they honestly just made it up.
Ham decides to go up first, in front of the boy, and put a hard piece of candy in his mouth, which created his words to be muffled. "Im-te-Gre-Bam-ino."
None of the kids could understand, they couldn't even try to guess the words because it was too muffled.
"Im-te-Gre-Bam-ino!"
"What?" The kids around him say to themselves, not noticing Jordan, Benny, and a new kid, behind Hamilton.
Ham takes the candy out, and explains, "I'm the Great Bambino."
Everyone "oh"s at the sentence, some had a few chuckles over how silly it sounded with the candy in.
"Who's that?"
Everyone turned there heads to the new kid, in complete disbelief, from him asking the insulting question. Jordan sighs with the roll of her eyes, as the rest looked at him as if he was an alien from outer space.

I had no idea who they were talking about.

"WHAT did he say?" "What, were you born in a barn, man?" "Yeah yeah, what planet are you from?"
♢
But there was no way I could let them know.

"YOU never heard of the Sultan of Swat?"
"The Titian of Terror?"
"The Colossus of Clout?" "The Colossus of Clout!"
"The King of Crash, man," Benny adds on to the numerous names, before Jordan nudged his chest with her elbow.
