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.
