Benny the Jet Rodriguez
It was summer of 1962. You'd recently moved into the neighborhood just after school entered. There was a group of boys in your neighborhood that met at the same place, an old sandlot, at the same time everyday. They would play baseball there until the sun went down. No rules, just practice. You'd played your share from where you came from, but never found a team that allowed girls....yet. You were helping load the last of the things out of the trucks when you looked across the street to see the boys gathering again. Their names-brothers Timmy and Tommy Timmons, Michael "Squints" Palledorous, Alan "Yeah-Yeah" McClennan, Bertram Grover Weeks, pitcher Kenny DeNunez, catcher Hamilton "Ham" Porter, and their leader and best-and defnetly the cutest-player Benny Rodriguez. You are all going into 8th grade, so your 13-14 years old.*
