The_Sandlot

The Sandlot In the beginning of the movie, The Sandlot, Smalls is viewed as the little kid who knows nothing about the game of baseball. He could not throw or catch the ball. All the kids were in disagreement about allowing him to play, except for Benny. Benny was the one who invited Smalls to play with the team. When Smalls’ glove breaks, Benny gives him a new glove, along with a baseball hat. Even though the team only had eight of nine players, they still refused to have Smalls on the team with them. And when the other seven boys were persuaded to let Smalls practice with them, they make fun of him due to his lack of the ability to catch and throw. It was in fact, Benny how persuaded the other seven players to accept Smalls onto their field, the Sandlot. Despite this harsh treatment in the beginning of the movie, Smalls was soon accepted as ‘one of their very own.’ The new treatment that Smalls received was due in large part to Benny’s tutelage of the game of baseball. Benny helped change Smalls’ view of himself.
