Young Frankie: First Grade
Please enjoy these auxiliary stories that speak to the development of young Frankie. Read as he grows into a gridiron hero - a man who seeks justice and stands up to villains. A protector who doesn't casually pass on by when someone is in need but rather digs in to discover the truth.
First Grade
Seven-year-old Frankie Scarmazino had a tummy ache. He didn’t tell his mother or his brothers, but he’d had a stomach problem for weeks.
And he knew why. He was a thin little guy, tall for his age but not heavy. He’d never been in a fight before. He was with his brothers most of the time; if anyone tried to mess with little Frankie, they’d have to answer to his older brothers, especially Richie.
Richie was six years older than Frankie. At thirteen, Richard William Scarmazino was a big kid, big and tough. He was larger than his brothers, not just because he was older, but because he’d weighed fifteen pounds at birth.
