It was the summer of '62 when everything changed. And not for the worse, for the better. It all started when we moved into a valley neighborhood. It was two weeks before school let out, which didn't leave me and my little brother, Scotty any time to make friends. The stupid part was, our mother and stepdad made us go to school with only two weeks left. You could imagine how annoyed we were. But what we didn't know is that 8 very different boys would be the ones to save our summer and many after that. This is the story of how me, Emmy Smalls and my brother, Scotty would make 8 friends that would change our lives forever. The Sandlot.

[Benny Rodriguez x Reader] "You know, I think red and blue go well together." ~~~~ Summer of '62 was hectic. After all, when two kids decide to want to play baseball, it seems to be the biggest joke of all time. Especially when a boy wants to play but can't, and because a girl playing baseball is simply taboo. After all, girls don't really play baseball. The boys at the sandlot didn't think Smalls could throw a ball for his life, nevertheless play baseball. But when a girl decides to challenge them and give them a run for their money... It changes things. Especially for Benny Rodriguez and the reader. ~~~~ Disclaimer: I do not own anything, not the characters, plot line, nor the songs used in this story.
