    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.

    Smalls’ looong brim cap is for fishing, you’re more likely to need to block morning sun lower in the sky.

    His dad (Robert Earl Jones) appeared in THE STING (1973) with Robert Redford and Paul Newman, which would make a fantastic reaction as well (this film is such a delight and really entertaining). THE STING won 7 Oscars including Best Picture as well.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

At that time, Babe Ruth had the all time career home run record, and it wasn't broken until Hank Aaron surpassed it in 1974, which was way after the time setting of this movie (1962). I guess that's why he said "idk why", but he could sense that Hank Aaron would be special.
