Smalls was obviously a book smart kid. So when he didn't know who The Great Bambino was, why didn't he go to the library and look through some encyclopedias or books? Kid probably had his own set of encyclopedias, I never understood why he didn't do his research.
As book smart as he was, why couldn't he grasp the concept of 'smores?
But he had zero common sense and little self confidence to try to accomplish accelerating into the same level of sports knowledge the rest of the neighborhood had already acheived.
Taking a ball that rest on a mantle? come on.

If anyone had a legit shot with Wendy Peffercorn, it would have been Benny, not Squints.
Benny wasn't interested in women even though he was physicllay the most mature of the bunch. He later helped mentor and train Joey Votto.

How could they spend all that time next door to Mr. Myrtle's house and NEVER see the man? In all those years? I know the guy was blind but he had to have stepped out for some fresh air every now and then.
Yeah, that I don't get either. He had accute senses such as smell and I'm sure that applied to hearing as well. So if you loved baseball that much, and you heard kids playing right out your back door everyday, you wouldn't at least step outside?

How could they play an honest game against the Little League team without one umpire? Ham was getting to call the strikes behind home plate? I don't think so
That's the best part of playing sports in your neighborhood. Our arguments were legendary. In football, if your friend took a cheap shot at you, there was no penalty, you got in a fist fight, then made up the next day and played again.

taking the ball of the mantle was unforgivably stupid. I don't give a shite if you don't know who that was anyone with common sense would know a ball placed in such a spot would know that ball must hold some type of value. Just go ask your fricking mom for money for a ball, that woman would probably be so happy that little arse goblin had any friends she would have purchased all the balls the store had to ensure those kids kept him around
