I grew up living across the street from Benny. Our mom's thought we would end up together, and our dad's laughed at the image. Needless to say, they were broken hearted when we grew apart. Soon after Benny pickled the Beast, he became the most popular guy in school. Boys wanted to play with him 24/7, and the girls who never gave him a second look were now chasing after him. He stopped playing at the sandlot, and started playing with the guys on the official team. The guys convinced him to play once in a while, but it was a rare exception. He had a new girlfriend, Sally, who he spent more time kissing than anything else. Benny never looked back at his old friends. Would you?
I didn't think so.
