Benny said “Smalls why don’t you come join us and play some ball” in the Sandlot.

I was raised on the movie The Sandlot. My my dad played baseball through college and my brother has played since he could hold a bat. My mom, sister, and I also played softball when we were little. One could say that we are a “baseball family.” My dad first introduced this movie to me, and I was attracted to it not only because it is a fun film about baseball, but also because it has an entertaining soundtrack. The music fits well with the storyline and makes you feel like you are playing baseball
The Sandlot is a classic sports film that shows how the role of friendship plays in children’s development. The story takes place in a small suburb outside of Los Angeles in the summer of 1962.

This I Believe…. By:Nic Warrington What is my life without baseball? I ask myself that every day and I answer it, “nothing, nothing would be the same without it”.
