The Sandlot (1993)


April 7, 1993

 This nice little piece of nostalgia from my childhood is a classic. There are so many great scenes in this movie and it is still enjoyable to watch as an adult.

 The Sandlot is about a boy named Scotty Smalls who moves to a new town with his mom and stepdad. Another boy named Rodriguez takes "Smalls" under his wing. He invites him to play baseball with the local boys. The boys tell Smalls that in the sandlot, players try to avoid hitting home runs because on the other side of the fence is a ferocious dog nicknamed "The Beast".

The backstory of "The Beast"

The rest of the movie involves the boys trying to retrieve a ball (signed by Babe Ruth) that was hit over the fence. The problem is they have to do it in creative ways by avoiding any contact with the bloodthirsty beast.


Go ahead and check out this film. It may remind you of your own childhood.
