Batter up! The Sandlot has made the starting lineup for our Fireworks At The Frida week!
The year is 1962. The neighborhood is endless summer. And the only thing bigger than the legend of “The Beast” is the size of the laughs, heart, and pure baseball magic in The Sandlot—the ultimate coming-of-age classic for anyone who’s ever played a game with a taped-up ball and a dream.
Directed by David Mickey Evans and narrated with perfect golden-hour nostalgia, The Sandlot follows new kid Scotty Smalls as he fumbles his way into a ragtag crew of backyard ballplayers led by the mythic Benny “The Jet” Rodriguez. There are scraped knees, Fourth of July night games, fairground crushes, lost baseballs, and epic attempts to recover a Babe Ruth–signed ball from the clutches of one monstrous dog next door. You’re killin me, Smalls!
