Scott "Scotty" Smalls

Scott Smalls, simply called "Smalls" by the other kids, is a boy who moved to suburban Los Angeles in 1962 with his mother and his new step-father. The crux of the first half of the film is him trying to fit in with the kids of his new neighborhood. Taken under the wing of Benny, he finds a new passion for baseball. It is his mistake of unwittingly using a ball signed by Babe Ruth (which belonged to his step-father) that drives the second half of the film. An adult Smalls also serves as The Narrator of the film, and is revealed in the "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue to be a radio commentator for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
