My love for The Sandlot runs deep. I remember seeing this with my dad as a young guy with a terrible bowl cut. At 42 I can only think of the memories of my dad and I shared playing sports
We sure are, probably because we were the last generation that had a taste of what real life was like before everyone was scrolling their phones 24/7 we want nothing more than to go back lol.
Gosh im so happy. Im 42, i grew up with this movie and even as an adult watch it ridiculously often. Now my 8 year old watches it MINIMUM 5 to 6 times a week and it starts the craziest conversations, lol my kids don't understand a world where wifi, internet, face time doesn't exist and I keep trying to tell them what it was like to sit through commercials, answer phones before knowing who was calling lol...nothing about this world in the Sandlot exists now and they just cannot comprehend. But I'm satisfied that this movie will live on because they love it as much as their parents did. Greatest movie of ALL TIME!!!! To this day I can't say "forever " without at least under my breath saying "FOR-EVVVERRRRR"
The change in the last ten years, is that those of us that grew up with it are having kids ourselves and sharing it with them. Love the carnival scenes 😂
I grew up watching that movie. I was born in 89 and the movie is timeless. It's a wholesome movie. Thank you for being in a such a good movie. My first movie was was John Wayne from 1923. My 2nd movie was sandlot .my 3rd movie was forest gump.
Fun Fact: My mom told me that she was working with a friend in Midvale, Utah and saw the fireworks being shown on a day that wasn't patriotic. They were confused about it, until they realized that it was for the 4th of July scene in The Sandlot while it was in development. I thought my mom was crazy about it, because all my life, I've watched the Sandlot and never thought that it was filmed here in Utah. I always thought that famous films like the Sandlot were made in popular states like California and New York, which, come to think of it, it's not always what it seems. It's pretty much a story I'll never forget from my mom.
Just turned 50. LOOOVE Baseball. Yankees fan since coherency. Never seen it! Maybe bits and pieces. Bc I lived it! It’s how I grew up. Out playing all day long. Riding bikes from here to Timbuktu! Never got into trouble and was always home by 6.
Lol definitely had to have saved the day! I remember my buddy and I (age 8) getting to watch the Mario Bros screener through some of our family friends who owned and operated a convenience store/garage/cafe/video store. Way earlier than our other friends could. Back then the tapes had the big warning scrolling across the screen and some scenes would turn black & white for a minute, etc. We tried so hard to like that movie but it just wasn’t happening. We only got to have it for 2 days. We tried watching it a couple times, ended up out shooting hoops and pitching to each other lol.
I hate the dodgers.....hate......but I want to fill my man cave with fictional sports movies jerseys. I'm having trouble finding Cleveland jerseys now but I'd love a Benny the jet jersey.
The film reminds me of the All Star I was appreciate to be part of in 1988. We went to El Cajon for for tournament and we were a rag tag team from AZ and beat a couple CA teams. Great experience.
My children and now, to my utter delight, my grandchildren, are HUGE FANS. I was the STEADY PITCHER for my children and their friends growing up. And, they were, the funnest years of my life! I CANNOT WAIT to reprise the role for my Grandkids and their friends!
Hi Patrick! Great Interview! Love that you mentioned Worcester! You should come visit and Go see a Woosox game!Its an AAA of The Red Sox Team! Great Place!
21:14 Dog Days of summer is right, and guess exactly when I would watch the Sandlot when it was "150° out there Benny, you CAN'T play Baseball, you gotta call it for the day." Just like the scene!
When you have the opportunity to talk to Darth Vader/ Terence from Field of dreams and right after The sandlot he was mufasa, you take that opportunity 😂 can we also boy caught making any more sandlots I can't believe they bothered to make sandlot 2 and 3 they were disgustingly bad somehow the third one was better than the second one which I don't know how that happened but it was still bad
