The Sandlot

If you are of a certain age, meaning you were between 8 and 15 years old when this movie came out in 1993, then get ready for a really fun trip down movie memory lane as you watch Ham, Squints, Yeah-Yeah and the rest of the team battle The Beast. Don’t worry that The Beast, the gigantic junk yard dog who eats baseballs (and baseball players if they aren’t careful) is a lot less real than he looked when you saw The Sandlot in theaters: you’re not the same person either, you know. The film maintains its spirit of fun despite being 20 years old, and the guys still are having so much fun spending their summer on the sandlot field where they play baseball that you’ll be jealous you can’t leave the office to join them. The next best thing is to find people who haven’t seen The Sandlot before – people of any age – and share the fun with them.
