‘The Sandlot’ Stars Reunite 25 Years After Release Of Classic Film | TODAY
The chubby kid who played the catcher (Patrick Renna) is the only one that looks the same to me..
Top 10 Archive idk yeah yeah looks pretty similar
Black guy look the same too
Top 10 Archive He just has a deeper voice but looks exactly the same.
Top 10 Archive uglah boi
Top 10 Archive haha he could still play that character
Still can't believe Smalls' step dad threw him a curve the first time he'd ever played catch in his life. Looking back now I think...man what an a-hole!
Well, the guy was a New Yorker, so, it stands to reason...
He did make a song called "im an ahole"
Yeah but at least he caught it
Hey buddy !
Now that you say, yeah
Wow, the guy who played yeah yeah got JACKED. 💪
Andy Saenz he was like the smallest in the film
He is fine as a knife wooo
He looks like Zac Efron now but bigger
Yeah yeah!
If only Benny the Jet Rodriguez was there 😒
Benny The Jet was charged with a felony assault and was facing 7 years prison. Benny and another off duty firefighter along with 2 others guys assaulted a college student, Samuel Chang, pinned him on the ground and chained his hands behind his back, choked him with a headlock that prevented him from breathing for over 6 minutes.
The victim's heart stopped beating and he stopped breathing. He was hospitalized for several weeks with kidney failure and permanent brain damage.
The firefighter's lawyer, Michael Goldstein, worked for the district attorney, Jackie Lacey, and donated several thousand dollars to her campaign, so now his clients were allowed to plea bargain the felonies charges down to misdemeanors, and walk free with zero jail time and even kept their jobs as firefighters.
There are rumors that the victim had indecently exposed himself to the neighborhood kids, but videos from the victim and neighbors only shows the assailants accusing him of passing drug laced candies to kids, not exposing himself. You can easily find those videos on UA-cam. The police tested the candy and the victim and found no drugs in either.
Even though all 5 assailants were able to avoid prison time because of their attorney's close relation and political donations to the District Attorney, the victim won a $7.4 million civil settlement against his attackers, including Benny The Jet.

HONESTO UNO darn it😕
I had a crush on him
Kimberly Montes sameeee😍😍
themancam cam who’s Benny? The tall kid who wasn’t there?
I was 44 years old when I watched "The Sandlot." Loved it. I'm 69 now.
Nice
real good.
Nice
To this day I still get teased by one of my Ladyfriends because I wanted to go see this when it came out.
@LetsRock
Well it's definitely a "guy" film, I can't deny that.
I have tried to defend both the film and myself, but so far whenever she brings it up, which is once a year for the last 27 years, I haven't been able to change her prejudiced assessment.
She still hasn't seen it.
I have already surprised her in past ribbings by mentioning that Karen Allen, James Earl Jones and Dennis Leary are in the cast, which has only temporarily impressed her, but I am now armed with newly discovered facts from today that will probably put this baby to rest once and for all!
Thanks to IMDB I just found out that The Sandlot was the 13th highest grossing film of 1993!
Beating out some big films starring the HUGE names in the industry.
Just to name a few;
Robert Deniro, Al Pacino, Michael Douglas, Tom Cruise, Clint Eastwood, Daniel Day Lewis, Kevin Costner, Arnold Schwarzenegger etc.
Not too B-A-D for a "boys" movie.
I'm going to go as far as saying that it is my second favorite film of 1993
Number one would be The Fugitive, and number three would be The Pelican Brief, which I think were also both outdone at the box office by The Sandlot.
Nice talking to you
As a grown man that movie will still bring a tear to my eye. Loved it growing up.
Thats sad asl😂 its a comedy
one of my all time favorite movies. Just gives me that nostalgic feeling. When life was much simpler.
They just do not make movies this good anymore!
The only movie i ever watched in its entirety with my Mom.
She laughed so beautifully.
R.I.P. Mom and a million thanks to this Fabulous Story. Im forever indebted.
I only clicked to see how hot Benny the Jet Rodriguez got and HES NOT THERE 😭
Me too. I think he likely didn't want to be there since he retired from the business years ago.
I’ve come to join this club.
He became a fireman, and then he nearly took part in an assault on a guy that nearly killed the guy (he stopped breathing, but since 2 of the guys beating him up were firemen they brought him back). I think he got a deal in a battery charge and he got probation, community service, and a suspension from the fire department. Probably didn't want to deal with the questions if he'd shown up here.
i know me too girl
www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-firefighters-choking-settlement-20190205-story.html Latest update on this...also I was in LA just this past week and someone at the hotel I stayed at mentioned she knows someone who saw Vitar at the LA fire dept. headquarters so he is still around. Just doesn't do public signings and events I would think.
"That your Sister Out In Left Field?...Think She'll Go Out With Me?" 😂😂😂
RideOrDieRaider she’s naked, think she’ll go out with me. 😂
Hey hey just tryna have a little friendly conversation here
I loved this movie growing up! I just bought it again for the 25th edition.
I loved it growing up, and I still love it to this day.
“ heroes get remembered, but legends never die follow your heart never go wrong”
"Heroes get remembered, but Legends never die! Follow your heart kid, and you'll never go wrong."
“and yeah-yeah looking more like hercules” 💀😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️
I've watched sandlot my whole childhood. I was already playing baseball when it came out, but it just made me love the sport more! I loved baseball as a kid, still do. This movie is FOREVER one of my top 5 movies. 👌🏼
That movie defined my childhood. Gets me emotional just feeling the nostalgia.
okay squints is still cute
You are pretty 🔥
Here come all the hungry wolves
Always seen him at green dragon before lol
Careful he'll make out with u against ur will
Tommy Wright da 1 man GANG that’s fine
I was about 15 when this came out but it captured my childhood and still watch it to this day. My child grew up with this movie....he was hesitant at first, don't know why but then it was always in his VCR/DVD player ❤️
That's so awesome, this movie is a all time great.
100 %. Probably my favorite movie
I love how you can still see that after years of age they're still the OG crew we all grew up with and wore out our vhs players watching. Makes my childhood feel whole.
The best childhood ever ❤️
During my childhood I watched this more than probably any other movie combined. As a child in the mid to late 90's my mother would take my sister and I to blockbuster almost every friday after school to rent a movie. I remember my younger sister would take forever, browsing trying to decide which movie to pick/rent. I had no such issue. For me it was a no brainer. For me It Was Always The Sandlot.
This was so awesome! Brings me back to the simpler days of just being a kid and wanting to play some ball.
Best movie we had on VHS.
My dad grew up in the 60’s and was the same age as these kids.
He bought this film after he took my older half-brother to see it back in ‘93 when it hit VHS.
This film was the first live-action feature-length film I (and my twin brother) ever watched when I was 4.
I must’ve watched this film nearly a hundred times during the mid-90’s.
(My mom and dad also bought an English Mastiff puppy in ‘96, just like The Beast, except she was a girl).
It’s one of my dad’s (and older half-brother’s and twin’s) favorite films, and mine, too.
Let’s not forget that Brandon Adams and Mike Vitar also starred together in D2: The Mighty Ducks. If I was a child actor, getting to be in these two movies alone would have been a dream come true.
Ya Ya looking more like Hercules 😂😂
This movie was my life from start to end
OMG this Is a GREAT movie! One of my old favourites 💕💓
What a great movie. Always will be a classic.
I managed Little League baseball teams for 10 years and the boys quoted this movie all the way into their adult years....what a great baseball movie....reminded me of my childhood
❤
Just saw this with my daughter & went to Sprouts...Cashier gave her a sticker that read "You are Kale-ing-me smalls" 👍
I got one that said "Youre GRAPE"
Kale stinks
"I am kevin durant and ill ball you up" 😂
I loved Squints. "FOR-EV-VEEEERRRRR!"
I'm glad the guy that played Bertram didn't disappear like the movie!
My childhood
lol ur old

Sandlot: in my Top 5 baseball movies for sure 🏆
Happy 26th anniversary, Sandlot! 26 summers later and it's still fresh.
I wasn't a fan of baseball, but this film and Rookie of the Year were my childhood and gave me an appreciation of the game. Great video.
Fun Fact: the lifeguard is the actress who plays Sheriff Judy Hicks in Scream
Who else came here right after watching the Sandlot movie?
the sandlot actually made me have respect for baseball and kinda like it I havent watched the movie is years but I still remember all the scenes
This movie is exactly the way we lived on our neighborhood. I absolutely love this movie! Wow what a classic
I still think of playing with my friends at the park in the 80s and 90s. We played there, friends yards, street, baseball, football, basketball, hockey, tag. It be from 3-15 of us just having fun… The great days of being a kid playing with the boys…
Love this movie and yes my son's and I. Still watch all three movies 👍⚾👍⚾👍
My kids said it looked boring... looked old... and made excuses not to watch it. I told them to give it a chance.... they loved it
🙏🙏 my awesome childhood. Can't put a price on memories. BEST baseball movie ever!
But highkey yall need to find benny.....lets be honest he was every girls favorite
Highkey? That's not a word dumbshit.
@y o you are a different kind of dumb aren't ya?
He participated in assault to some guy and almost went to jail but avoided it by doing community service. He should be in prison
@@luvrbd4ever if he got community service it was probably just a fist fight. That's not something you "should" go to prison for lmfao. It's not like he was out targeting innocent people and attacking them like a madman for no reason. You must be a goodie goodie.

I was in the drive-thru at Carl's Jr the other day and I couldn't make up my mind and the lady says over the speaker, "you're killing me Smalls!" and I said, "S'more what?"
Love that movie and my kids grew up watching it. It's certainly a classic!
When my youngest brother played little league baseball his team made little league playoffs and every day, I mean EVERY DAY after practice, before practice, he would have The Sandlot playing. My mom had to replace the cassette twice because he watched it so much.
Reuniting classic film/tv cast should be a series!
I still watch the sandlot and it is amazing
“Where the F$&? is Bertram? - Cracked After Hours
Its an Honor knowing that this movie is what inspired me to play Baseball
I didn’t even get to hear Kenny talk 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
This movieust have been a blast and fun to make for them at that age.
So many great sports films, but The Sandlot ranks at the very top for me. My personal favorite.
I watch every time it's on , wherever it is ...still enjoy
Great movie
No one:
Michael Jackson: 3:33
Benny works as a la firefighter now so he’s obviously been done acting but idk if they could find him maybe he has a whole family new name idk but he’s living a good life being a real life hero!
I was more of a Little Giants kid but I loved the Sandlot too.
Make Bro Great Again
There's heroes and legends.
okay - now i gotta go watch 'the sandlot' (again) ..for like, the million-th time. lol. ...you're killin' me smalls.
Chauncey Leopardi has that look like he’s seen quite a few things in his lifetime that would blow your mind😂😂
A square benny 🤣 the kids a SQUARE!
That’s gotta be the shitiest soccer field I’ve ever seen in my life
one of my favorite movies
The Sandlot is still one of my favorite movies of ALL time.
Bet this reporter never watched sandlot in his life
My parents once met Patrick Renna at a bar he seemed pretty chill
Stopped watching after I didn’t see “the jet” cmon NBC. Benny without the sandlot just ain’t worth it.
Kids from the 90s had THE greatest childhood!
Hearing the gang snuck in to see Basic Instinct is hilarious!
I just watched it yesterday night and i swear im inlove with this kind of movies :)
A great movie ! Just watched it. April 1, 2023
At age of 31 when it was released I watched it with my kids. It was a great bonding movie with my kids Lot of my growing with 11 guys on my street. Brought back lots of memories of crazy stuff we did some NOT so safe
That was awesome to watch. Thanks for the memories
Bro like ion even know anything about baseball but my teacher showed us the movie in class during my 6th grade and man movie actually was interesting
Omg I loved when they went to the carnival and everyone threw up! I remember I threw up at coney island and I felt bad but I saw this movie and didnt feel so bad!
This is a must have movie !!
I watched this smiling ear to ear ☺️☺️ I love it

I'm 36 and I love that movie
Love this movie so much sooooo many childhood memories.
Gosh wish it was liked this still.
Alicia

Best movie of all time!
I just watched this movie again
44 years old and I still watch sandlot kids... It's one of those movies you grew up watching like goonies etc
I’m really sad mike wasn’t there...hope he’s doing great
i hope i could tell everyone this so they understand but anyways my dad is related to him and he said the mike said that this movie ruined his life i’m not sure why . he stopped acting and became a firefighter but a few years ago went to jail for assaulting some kids
This is how I learned how to throw a baseball
Even if you don't like baseball, you still gotta love The Sandlot.
My freind not a baseball fan but loves the sandlot

If you haven’t seen The Sandlot as a child.......you don’t have a childhood
Katsuki Bakugou my hero academia👌❤️
I'd be willing to bet I've watched this movie more than any other human in the world!
Bakugou Your basically Benny and Midoriya is smalls you get it because Deku is shorter than you and your better than him.

Katsuki Bakugou fr
They are all now older than their “older” selves in the movie.
