When Small's new stepfather fails to teach Smalls how to play ball, Smalls seeks acceptance from the Sandlot crew. When Smalls first greets Benny, he only gets a nod because he's the new kid on the block. According to Mandal and Fratik Baran, Be... at the center of the card... friendship because those guys needed each other. They changed each other's lives. The friendship between Benny and Small is an accurate representation of real life. The way the boys communicate with each other is accurately depicted in The Sandlot. For kids during the summer it's all about playing sports and hanging out with friends. The only thing standing in the Sandlot boy's way was the fact that they were one player down. Then, just like any other team, the captain, Benny, came out to fill the last spot. Ultimately creating a friendship that would last forever. This would involve the revelation that this friendship will remain timeless. Works Cited Adler, R.B., Rosenfeld, L.B., & Proctor, R.F. (2013). Interplay The process of interpersonal communication.
