Storyline

Scotty Smalls moves to a new neighborhood with his mom and stepdad, and wants to learn to play baseball. The neighborhood baseball guru Rodriquez takes Smalls under his wing, and soon he's part of the local baseball buddies. They fall into adventures involving baseball, treehouse sleep-ins, the desirous lifeguard at the local pool, the snooty rival ball team, and the travelling fair. Beyond the fence at the back of the sandlot menaces a legendary ball-eating dog called The Beast, and the kids inevitably must deal with him. Written by Ed Sutton <esutton@mindspring.com>

Trivia

When the boys are in the pool watching Wendy Peffercorn, the dialog: "She don't know what she's doing" and the answer "Yes she does, she knows exactly what she's doing" is the same as in a similar scene in Cool Hand Luke. See more »

Goofs

Factual errors: In the movies opening scene, adult Scott narrates that Babe Ruth's called shot happened in the bottom 9th inning in Game 3 of the 1932 World Series with the tying run on base. This would imply that the Yankees were down by 2 runs at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. However the game was played at Wrigley Field in Chicago, and it was in the top of the 5th in a 4-4 tie where Ruth hit his called shot. See more »

Quotes
