At 27:13 Babe Ruth says, “I don’t know why, but can I have this?” It’s a Hank Aaron card. Babe Ruth held the HOMERUN record in Major League Baseball until 1974 when Hank Aaron passed it. So it was a wink wink to the audience that Babe’s Angel knew the future. Also, another fun fact, it was a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Benny’s team at the end of the movie.

October Sky is SO freaking good. Rocket Boys, the book it came from, is also great.

This was filmed in my town. I walk my dogs past the spot they stood after they got tossed out of the pool. One girl I worked with was an extra (pool honey), and a regular at our store was the woman who pulled her kid (not her kid) back when they ran out of the pool. A Christmas Story is another great narrated movie. Another great baseball movie (that you don't need to know anything about baseball to appreciate) is A League of Their Own. Bull Durham is also really good.

Mary becoming a baseball fan/nerd is the arc we all deserve

This film is a nostalgia trip for multiple generations. Nostalgic for the millenials because it was an awesome movie from their childhood and it's nostalgic for people like my boomer father whose childhood was just like this. It's a timeless classic.

Wendy Peffercorn was probably about only 17 or 18 years old while the kids are about 10 to 12 years old

Playing sandlot ball was always more fun than playing organized Little League games. In sandlot ball, it was generally understood that the pitcher would throw something that you can hit. More hits, more plays, more fun. Then you'd go to your Little League games, and the same friends you were having fun with were trying to strike you out. You'd be up there at bat, knowing damn well that your friends on the other team know that you're an easy out. Glad I gave up on sports. They were fun when they were about the fun. When it got serious and all about winning, it stopped being fun.

This/the Goonies/stand by me are perfect examples of childhood for anyone born pre 93

21:50 Babe Ruth was a baseball player from the early 1900's, he is the most famous athlete of all time. Even today someone can say "Lionel Messi is the Babe Ruth of soccer/football" or hell there was a time when people said "Michael Jordan is the Babe Ruth of basketball". Especially in american sports there is no one higher than Babe Ruth he's like a mythical legendary sports figure, he was the first ultra celebrity that literally couldn't walk down the street anywhere without huge crowds forming he was Elvis before Elvis, the Beatles before the Beatles that type of celebrity.

George Herman "Babe " Ruth was one of the first baseball superstars. He held the home run record for a long time. He became legendary when in the World Series he actually called his shot. He pointed in the direction he was gonna hit out of the park and did just that.

You keep calling them bullies but that's just how young boys are with each other, and the movie was made in the 90s, BASED on the 60s. If they didn't talk to smalls the way they did he wouldn't have gained the confidence he got.

Field of Dreams, Moneyball, Bull Durham, The Natural, that Air Bud sequel, etc. But... My friends & I were the same age as these kids when this movie came out, we played baseball *every chance we got,* so this is my personal favorite.

We used to play baseball like that behind my backyard in the Prarie. It was so much fun. The Praire was our playground all summer long.

Fun Fact: This film was not shot in Southern California. It was filmed in Northern Utah, in a section of Salt Lake City called Sugarhouse, & the city is right next to a mountain range called the Wasatch Front.

Thats why I love Americans sports - they gave us multiple good movies. I don't know rules for Football or Baseball but movies are gold.

Yes a trip to my youth in the 70s playing ball with my best friend in the neighborhood and we are still best friends after 50 years.... My 3 daughters love this movie as they love baseball. It's great that even though baseball is not a sport you follow you enjoyed it 😊

Loved it as a kid.....and my kids love it too now. We always quote "FOOORRREEEEVVVAHHHH" I mean kids in the 90s all know about hitting a ball over the fence and trying to retrieve it.

I've loved this film since the very first time I saw it. I would elevate it above Stand By Me (1986) as far as the narrative goes, just because The Sandlot (1993) is more uplifting in its tone while Stand My Me is far more somber and introspective. Both are magnificent coming of age stories, but completely different shades of nostalgic emotions.

Depicts my childhood days and antics of the neighborhood I grew up in. A great story and movie. Thanks to whoever paid to have you react to it. If you are looking for another movie similar in nature try "Summer of 42".

In Australia, this movie is known as "The Sandlot Kids". Baseball is in Australia (my son played it), but it's not all that popular here. I frequently yelled out "You're killing me, Smalls" when he wasn't paying attention during the game to snap him back to attention. He loves this movie. Babe Ruth is arguably one of the most famous baseballer of all time. Benny and the Jets is a song. It's a great movie

This is a film I grew up with and the one line that has stayed with me is, "Remember kid, there's heroes and there's legends. Heroes get remembered, but legends never die. Follow your heart kid; you'll never go wrong."

❤. I use “You’re killing me, Smalls!” all the time!

Same, I did both slow and fast pitch softball and I truly don't understand how someone can't catch/throw a ball. I can see if aim/technique is terrible but, it's honestly a talent to throw with all your might and the ball only go a foot in front of you. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

There's goes my baby song is on my playlist.

This movie is an absolute classic. If you're looking to watch another great sports move try "Remember the Titans", it's excellent.

I've been watching this movie since I was about 7 years old. It's a coming of age film that really gives you a perspective on a young boy's life. I went through a similar situation as Smalls' when my parents divorced at an early age. This movie brings me back to the time when I was young and had friends just like these kids. We'd all ride our bikes to the baseball field before school and just play a couple of innings until we had to cut out to get to class. Man those days were just the greatest.

This is my favorite movie of all time. This movie was basically my life growing up as a child. So many good memories. Nobody called anyone by their own names. My nickname was “Laggs”. My baseball nickname was “Julio”. Before I went on the field I would sing “To all the girls I loved before” to keep loose, hence the nickname Julio.

I don't watch The Sandlot often, but I love this movie. I'm a sucker for a few things, time period movies and sports are a couple of them. This is a great mix of the two. It also has one of my favorite quotes of all-time in it: "Heroes get remembered, but legends never die. Follow your heart kid and you'll never go wrong."

100% my childhood. This movie never gets old. I remember after seeing this for the first time my friends and I were convinced we would run at least 10 times faster if we dug our foot into the ground first.

I remember summers like this... But without the pool scamming. Hanging out with friends, going to movies, sleep-overs... So yeah, this movie really brings back great childhood memories...

The curly haired redhead boy is Patrick Renna. He was also in The Big Green and Son-In-Law. Son-In-Law and The Sandlot were both originally released in 1993.

My older brother and his friend dared me to ride my bike full speed past the yard with the St. Bernard and I was Terrified of dogs but .... Same thing, dog leapt the fence , easily chased me down , I panicked and wiped out in the vacant lot . The dog licked my face and slobbered. I've never been afraid of a dog since.

As a ton of people here have noted, Babe Ruth is arguably the most famous and iconic player in baseball history. He's one of those players that has entered the realm of legend and myth because of his status. Larger than life and a king of the game while the game was still really carving itself a foothold as America's most popular sport. He was a baseball star, and an overall sports star, before there were sports stars. He literally changed the game and how we view sports heroes to this day. A signed baseball from him is like having the first issue of Spiderman signed by Stan Lee or something.

I actually played sandlot style baseball every summer as a kid. We just met there every day and played. And when it was too hot outside we went to the pool. So much nostalgia.

Simply the best baseball ever made. It captures the essence of what makes baseball great and why it is considered America’s National Pastime. There is so much magic around the game and it’s history because no matter what level you achieve, it’s a game and it’s supposed to be fun.

I didn't grow up in the 60s but I was a kid in the 90s and it reminds me of the days riding bikes with my friends, skipping rocks, catching bugs, etc lol. And the way they talk is so accurate for a pack of pre-teen boys lmao

Other baseball movies to watch include Bull Durham, Field of Dreams, A League of their Own, Rookie of the Year and Angels in the Outfield
