"PF Flyers? This was a thing in the 90's?" This story takes place in the 60's and they were indeed a thing at that time.
This movie is set in the year 1962, the same year I was 8 years old. Me and my neighborhood friends played baseball wherever we could, be it in the middle of the street, at school or at the neighborhood park. The movie scenes of the homes look like they were shot on my childhood street. I grew up in Concord, CA and my family were huge SF Giants fans and also the Oakland A's when they moved to Oakland in 1968. When I was in 3rd grade, somehow our teacher got permission to take our class on a field trip to a Giants game at Candlestick park in San Francisco. I was 9 years old. There were areas of the outfield that had some rickety bleachers and a simple chain link fence between us and the field. During batting practice, every time Willie Mays caught a ball, he would run over and toss the ball over the fence for some lucky kid to get. I never got a ball, but I was lucky enough to get a handshake and big smile from Willie when I shoved my little hand through an opening in the chain link fence. I'll never forget that moment! I'll be 70 next year and I'm still a huge baseball fan of the SF Giants, Oakland A's and Boston Red Sox. I live in Utah now and was surprised to learn that the Sandlot was filmed on a lot in Salt Lake City, just 35 minutes north of my home. Each year they have a reunion for whoever from the cast of Sandlot can attend and show the film on a screen set up on the same field they played baseball on during the movie. Thanks Dasha for being such a pleasure to watch, your sincerity, sense of humor and heartfelt reactions are priceless!
You’re killing me smalls.
If you dig the feel-good child sports team movie, maybe try the Mighty Ducks!
Back then, things were better. Kids used to ride their bikes around late at night all over town.
Such a pleasure watching this with you! You are as wholesome as the movie ❤😊
In my Top 3 baseball movies. Dasha this takes place in early 1960s (likely '61 or '62 as Angels became a team in 61). Yes it always reminds me of playing baseball in neighborhood in my youth mid 70s. My daughters grew up with baseball as an internal part of their youth and they all love this movie. Great reaction ❤
this movie warms the toughest man's heart. I grew up playing baseball with my friends as a kid, and this movie still warms the heart.
Yeah yeah – he looks pretty crappy
There’s some serious Americana in this movie.
Your perspective will be interesting.
I was always the new kid.
We moved a lot.
I know a couple of guys named “Benny” 💛 who made all the difference.
Greetings from Finland girl!!! Wholesome reaction and this is one of my favorite childhood movies ❤ "i'll be back" 😎
Fun fact: The actor that played Benny his eldest brother played the older version of him. These types of films are called “Coming of Age” it is directed towards children from 5 to 15 years old there are tones of teenagers that loved this film too. The 90s were different, it was special to many.
This film is a childhood classic for an entire generation of millennials, even if you're not that into baseball. Gen Xers love this movie too. And based on the positive reviews of the reactors, it's safe to say that The Sandlot is a classic. Great reaction! 👍🏿⚾️
I'm looking forward to you watching FIELD OF DREAMS
One of the greatest movies of all time with a baseball backdrop.
Dasha making a “that’s what she said joke” is the cutest thing ever 😊
I saw this movie in the theater in the 90's. To this day if anyone gets on my nerves I'll give them a "you're killing me smalls".
Good movie
You can watch movie field of dream kevin costner is awesome 😂👌
The Dad is played by Dennis Leary, who was best known for his standup in the 90s. You would have previously seen him in Demolition Man as Edgar Friendly (where he pretty much did his standup routine).
The Mom is played by Karen Allen, who you'd know as Marion Ravenwood in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Henry "Hank" Aaron broke Babe Ruth's all-time home run record, which is the joke about the Ghost of the Babe asking for his baseball card.
Some other great baseball movies:
A League of their Own (the 1992 film with Geena Davis, Lori Petty, Tom Hanks, Madonna, and Rosie O'Donnell, not the current TV series)
Field of Dreams
The Natural
Major League and Major League II (the first is considerably better, but the second is still worth a look)
The Babe
Eight Men Out
Bull Durham
The Pride of the Yankees (Babe Ruth actually plays himself)
61*
The Bad News Bears (the 1972 original, NOT the remake)
