Squints Palledorous



Michael Squints Palledorous is a smart aleck who wears glasses with thick black frames. He has a giant crush on Wendy Peffercorn, whom he eventually marries and buys the local drugstore. Squints wears a plain black hat.

The Sandlot
Squints is the grandson of Squidman Palledorous, a former police chiefback that told him the legend of the meanest old man that ever lived and the Beast (just a joke). That's why the sandlot kids are always trying to avoid hitting home runs over the sandlot fences and why no one tought about asking Mr. Mertle to give them back the ball signed by Babe Ruth.

On the summer of 1962, Squints went with his friends to the pool. There Squints, who can´t swim, deliberately jumped off at the deep end, to get his lifeguard crush Wendy Peffercorn to rescue him, and he kissed her during mouth to mouth, which although it resulted in a permanent ban from the pool, it cemented Squints and Wendy's relationship.

Squints married Wendy Peffercorn, had nine kids, and bought Vincent's Drug Store.

The Sandlot: Heading Home
By 1976, Squints only has 5 children with his wife Wendy Palledorous and is now the owner of the Squints' Pharmacy. Together he and Benny co-coach the sandlot baseball team. The team finally won the last battle for the sandlot.
