Benny "The Jet" Rodriguez
I wantched The Sandlot recently and thought that a character of such stature deserved some respect, I think writing about him in my blog is appropriate. First things first. For those of you who don't know who Benny "The Jet" is, then maybe you need to re-evaluate your life. But before you re-evaluate stop reading here, because you just aren't worthy. The Jet is more than a man, more similar to a greek god. If you say "Benny The Jet" four times in front of a mirror he appears, smiles at you, then tosses you a glove out of his pants, and disapears.
The Jet was always known primarily for his baseball skills, which far exceeded the skills of players like Barry Bonds, Mark McGuire, and other steroid era greats. Benny "The Jet" was pure, no steroids, hell not even any gatorade. The Jet bashed dingers, stole bases, made web-gems, and even carried a bat as a weapon when confronted by a rival baseball team. Hell, Benny could hit the ball 249 ft and put it in Smalls' glove without breaking a sweat. The Jet never ran away from a problem, but merely laughed at it, took it out to a movie, and made sweet love to it.
Maybe even more impressive than his unhuman baseball skills, The Jet was a great human being, well that is if you think he his mortal, otherwise he was just a great being. Smalls was a melvin. He isn't the kind of person who should play baseball or any other sport. He was a melvin, but Benny took him in, and brought him under his wing, and showed him the ropes. In that first practice Smalls was nervous, and Benny eased those nerves and made him an accepted member of the team. He also has gave him a hat, and a glove which he claimed were "old ones."
Benny "The Jet" above all else always came up in the clutch. In that game against the Tigers, or whatever cliche little league name they were, they showed the whole team performing well as they easily trounced their opponents. This game wasn't very close, but had it been I wouldv'e bet that The Jet wouldn't allow them to lose that game. He would've taken care of business, and I know that without it actually happening, and anyone who's seen the movie knows that Benny had this uncanny confidence that said, "I can do anything ever."
The guy who played Babe Ruth once said, "Heroes are remebered, but legends never die." I'm not entirely sure what this quote means. Had it been a critical lens, I'd be in deep shit. That's the difference between The Jet and myself and the rest of us. He can make sense of nonsense, outrun a dog, become a Dodger, be the coolest person in the world and still befriend a Melvin, steal home, grow a mustache, and defeat the beast.

matt this is so random lol
i personally enjoy ya-ya or even the kid with the square glasses. but i do agree that Benny "the jet" rodriguez is similar to a greek god
The kid with the square glasses? His name was Squints!
Benny "The Jet" is amazing and it is obvious just when you here his nickname. "The Jet" i mean that demands respect. Look at me and some of my friends. Stinky Chewy and Nancy, think about it, we're all pretty phenomal kids but it is obvious none of us can even touch the Jet. I wish I knew the Jet, but maybe its a good thing i don't, because he obviously would take my starting postitions in any sport he chose(somehow he would be able to play baseball and lacrosse in the same season)steal all my friends, and my girlfriend would leave me just for a chance to be with "Benny The Jet". Someday, i hope to be none as, "Stinky Garbage Man the Jet"
because i will be commenting this blog alot, i will let it be known that spelling is not a strong point of mine, and proofreading is something i do not do
