[ Man Narrating ]
Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Lou Gehrig,

Hank Aaron, Mickey Mantle,

Al Kaline, Carl Yastrzemski,

Pete Rose, Barry Bonds,
Cal Ripkin and a handful more...

are all considered
to be the greatest hitters...

in baseball's
celebrated history.

But this list
would not be complete
without one name in particular.

Tommy "Santa" Santorelli.

In the middle of his 19th
and recently announced
final season,

Tommy has been named
to 11 all-star teams,

broken dozens of records,
and seems destined
for Cooperstown.

That is, if his ego
doesn't get in the way.

From humble beginnings,
Tommy Santorelli
and his mother Sara...

moved to Southern California
the summer Tommy turned 13.

It was there that Tommy
began playing sandlot ball,

and let's just say
he's always had a talent
for the game.

It was with that
July 4, 1976 catch...

that Tommy single-handedly won
the all-city championship.

Unfortunately,
shortly thereafter...

Tommy's mother lost
a courageous battle with cancer,

and a local benefactor
sent him...

to the legendary
Baseball Academy
St. Agnus Preparatory School.

It was there that he coined
his own nickname-- "Santa."

His explanation? Simple.
It was a gift for anyone
to watch him play.

The loss of his mother
affected him deeply,
and some see this...

as the reason for Tommy's
lack of loyalty to the list...

of major league teams
he's been a part of.

Finishing his career
where it started,

in his hometown
of Los Angeles,

Tommy signed a three-year,
multi-million-dollar deal...

with the Dodgers.

Though Tommy's numbers
have been strong,

the Dodgers have suffered
their worst losing streak
in years.

- [ All Groan ]
- Famed Dodger manager
Benny Rodriguez explains:

Problem is, guys like Tommy
don't play for the love
of the game,

and that translates
to the rest of the guys.

If the top earner don't care,
why should they?

Now, these kids--

They played because
they loved playing.
That's it.

No-- No money, no agents.

[ Chuckles ]
No complaining.

Just the pure love of the game.

[ Sighs ]
But ballplayers like them
don't exist anymore.

In fact, the old sandlot
doesn't even exist.

But yeah, they got it.

Now, I've known Tommy
since he was a kid.

We grew up
in the same town, and--

I don't know, maybe it's
'cause I'm older than him.

But, uh, the sad thing is,

I could always tell--
he never got it.

What do I know?

I'm just an old, washed-up
manger now anyhow.

Let's get some dirt
on those uniforms, huh?

[ Woman ]
So what do you think
went wrong today, Santa?

What are you askin' me for?
I went three for four.

Homered in the sixth,
in case you didn't see that.
Yeah, but you lost.

- No, sweetie. They lost.
- Did you just call me sweetie?

Listen, I'm just trying
to be friendly, sweetie.

Look. If these guys
want to play like
a bunch of losers,

there's nothing I can do
to stop 'em okay?

So, Tommy, with this being
your last season,

you must be looking back
on your career
a little bit.

- Some say you're getting out
before the hammer falls.
- What?

Any regrets?

Nope. None.
Really?

What about that tell-all book
written by your ex-fiancée,
Judy Kroll--

Sweetie?

Tommy, come on.
What do you have to--

Oh, it's a great day
for baseball.

Yeah, and one of the last.

And I'll tell you what, boys.
When Santa's gone,
party's over.

You better cherish these days
while they're here.

He's in a talkative
mood today.

Yeah. Probably 'cause he's
not under oath.

Yo, 26, what gives?

Uh, it's for the July 4
fireworks next week.

That's next week.
What are they doin'
in my yard today?

I don't know.
That's just what I was told.

You know, I've been
comin' here early
for three years...

so this diva can have B.P.
all to himself,

and he doesn't even
know my name.
Consider yourself lucky.

At least you're on
a first-number basis
with him.

- Right.
- Yeah, they wanna
see some fireworks?

I'll show 'em
some fireworks.

Been workin'
on that new pitch
we talked about?

What new pitch?

It's called a strike.

And Santa takes that
to the North Pole.

All right.

So on the big night,
when I say "now,"

I want you to light it up
right here, okay?

Hey, Lou.

You understand me, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Bud.

I'm just watching out
for incoming.
Okay.

You got a problem
with your breakin' stuff, kid.

- Yeah? What's that?
- It don't break.

- Excuse me?
- You're excused.
Bring it.

You understand me, right?

On the big night,
when I say "now,"

I want you to light it up.
Okay?
What, now?

Now.
Now?

When I say "now," Lou.
Now?

Lou, your head's
like cement.
Now is now.

What do you mean, now?
Now.

Okay, now.
Whoo!

Lou! Not "now," now.
Pull it out.

- Pull it out!
- What do you mean, pull it out?
You said light it.

Run!
[ Screams ]

[ Boy ]
How far did he skid?

[ Boy #2 ]
He stopped here.

Four, five, six,
seven, eight--

He looks bad.

We should do something.
Yeah, kick him.
See if he's fakin' it.

- Kick him?
What, are you nuts?
- "Nuts"? Good idea.

Kick in the family jewels,
excellent fake breaker.

- [ Boy #2 ]
That should wake him up.
- Bad idea on many levels.

As a medical procedure,
I think kicking...

is way down on the list
of any prescribed remedies.

- Got any better ideas, Q?
- Slap in the face?

Bucket of water.
That always works.

My mom says you should
always wake someone gently.

- Gently.
- How about seeking
medical attention, doofus?

The average ambulance
takes four minutes...

to respond to the scene
of an accident.

Kick in the family jewels,
lot faster.

- We're gonna get this guy help.
- Why are you in charge?

- Yeah, why are you in charge?
- Since when?

- I'm the tallest.
- What's that got to do
with anything?

I am the smartest.

I think you mean shortest.
I'm the biggest.

I think you mean
fattest.
Fattest.

- I say we go with the kick.
- I'm the captain.

- [ Boys ]
What?
- Who made you captain, D.P.?

The catcher is always
the captain.

- You're not the captain.
What about pitcher?
- [ Chattering ]

- Guys, look. Guys.
He's waking up.
- [ Groaning ]

We could still kick him
before it's too late.

[ Boy #2 ]
Ask him a question
that everyone knows.

See if he's okay.
Good idea.

Who's the greatest
baseball player of all time?

- I am.
- [ All ]
What?

[ Boy ]
Who are you?
Tommy Santorelli.

Well, I don't care
if you're Steve Garvey.
The answer is Babe Ruth.

Hello! The Sultan of Swat.
The King of Crash.

The Colossus of Clout.
The Home Run King.

The Babe.
[ Together ]
The Great Bambino.

No. It's Santa.

Santa?
As in Claus?

- [ Groans ]
- Can I kick him now?

Go ahead.
[ Man ]
Back up, kids!

Clear out!

[ Panting ]

I'm trained
for situations like this.

Now, who started it?

Stand back, boys.
I'm goin' in.

[ All Groaning ]

[ Screaming ]

Hey! What's goin' on here?

All right, kids,
give him some air.
What happened?

[ Boy ]
He took a fly ball
to the forehead.

- Sorry, Uncle Chops.
- Would have been
a triple too,

if he hadn't
screwed it up.

In your dreams,
fat ass.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Are we gonna have
a situation here?

'Cause we don't want
a situation, do we? Huh?

[ Boys ]
No.
Good. What's your name, kid?

Who you calling kid, Tubs?

Is that any way
to talk to an officer
of the law?

Where's my P.D.A.?
Your what?

- My blackberry?
- Hey, that's mine.

And it's not blackberry.
It's strawberry-banana.

Are you serious?
I love strawberry.
Hey!

He's that new kid
who just moved onto
Glenview Road.

What are you talking about?
I live in Beverly Hills.

And what's up
with this "kid" crap?

Which one of you
jacked my phone?
I gotta call my agent.

Don't even think
about autographs.

[ Boy ]
Why would we want
your autograph, loser?

1976.

Bicentennial?

What's goin' on?

Yeah. We got a situation.

[ Woman ]
* Sleep, angel, sleep *
[ Moans ]

** [ Humming ]

Where am I?

You're home, sweetheart.

No, I can't be.
I must be dreaming.

Just relax.
You'll feel better
in the morning.

Mom.

It's really good
to see you again.
[ Chuckles ]

Honey.
I've missed you so much.

Oh, honey. I'm right here.

** [ Humming ]

I like this dream.
Shh.

[ Tommy Screams ]

Well, hello there,
sleepyhead.
Wh-Where am I?

You're home,
sweetheart.

No, no, no.
Something's very wrong.

Mom? Am I dead?

Why would you ask
such a silly thing?

Because I'm wearing
my Speed Racer p.j.'s
that I haven't seen in 30 years.

Fine. I got a little backed up
on the laundry.

There's still a lot
of unpacking to do.

Don't worry,
your Batman and Robin ones
haven't run off.

- Mom, do you know
how old I am?
- Twelve, almost 13.

No. I'm 41 years old.
I live in Beverly Hills.

I've got a smokin'-hot
girlfriend who's got
her own reality show.

I play center field
for the Dodgers.

And somehow
I'm back here.

And you're here.
And the pancakes
smell so real.

And I think
I'm gonna throw up.

All right, all right.
Take it easy.
I thought you loved pancakes.

- I'll make you some eggs.
- No eggs.
I do protein shakes.

- Ginseng, spirulina.
- Maybe you have a concussion
and I let you sleep too long.

I'm gonna call the doctor
right now.

Mom, put down
the phone.

I don't think
I have a concussion.

I just think I'm dead.

[ Chuckling ]

I bet this'll
bring you back to life.

Give me a break.

Has everyone gone nuts?

Okay, Tommy,
why don't you
tell me what's wrong?

Come on, Doc.
Isn't it your job
to tell me what's wrong?

All right.
Uh, how's your memory?

Well, I remember
some things like
they were real.

Like my mom
and the house...

and the kids
from the sandlot.

But other things,
they're kind of foggy.

Like I'm watching TiVo.
TiVo? You mean TV?
Uh, television?

No, TiVo.
Pausing in real time,
zapping commercials.

Unless I'm in them.

Why don't you wait outside
a minute while I talk
to your mom, okay?

I'd actually
prefer to stay, Doc.

My trainers back
at Dodger Stadium give me
the skinny all the time.

That's what I mean.
I don't know half the things
he's talking about.

Well, his-- Your retinas
appear to be fine,
and the heart rate is normal.

Other than a little bump
on your noggin, I think--
[ Chuckles ]

Well, he's fine.

[ Tommy ]
"Fine"? You think
I'm fine?

Look at me.
Look at this haircut.

Look at these
weak little biceps.

How can you call
any of this fine?
Let's go, Mom.

This guy's a quack.

Tommy, you apologize
this instant.

No, no. That's okay.

Actually, Tommy, I would like
to have another word
with your mother though.

[ Whispering ]
In private.
Whatever.

[ Door Opens, Closes ]
Sara, I think Tommy's
suffering from some sort...

of emotional stress,
but he'll be fine.

You are the one that
I am concerned about.

Me?
I'm well, thank you.

I guess I'm strong enough
for the chemo again.

Mmm. Then maybe we should
pick up on the treatments...

where you left off
before the move.

That'd be fine, Doctor.

Now, if he starts
acting up again,

I'd show him some pictures
of family and friends,

just to bring him back
to reality, as it were.

Maybe that's
what he's fighting.

Reality.

That was surreal.

I don't know about you, Mom,
but I could sure use
a drink.

We could go get a soda.

And this is your Uncle Henry.

Uncle Henry.
You remember your Uncle Henry,
don't you, sweetheart?

Mmm, sure.
I remember Uncle Henry.

Cheap son of a--
Who is this again?

That's you.
And that's you
at the lake.

Oh. And there's you
at Big Bear.

And this is that day
last summer, you remember,

when we went
to that music festival
with your Cousin Jimmy?

Oh, right.
Shame what happened
to him though.

What happened to him?
Did Margie call
with some bad news?

No. When Jimmy's band
broke up in the early '90s,

he got himself a job
at Home Depot
in Calabasas.

What's Home Depot?

Last I heard,
he was assistant manager
in Hardware.

[ Chuckles ]
Divorced, up to his neck
in alimony payments.

- What?
- Little Jimmy's
in the fourth grade...

and got all straight A's
this past year, Tommy.

Who's this again?
[ Doorbell Rings ]

[ Kids Chattering ]
I'll get that.

Guys, stop pushing.
What's your problem?

Shut up.
Guys, guys.

Tommy, some boys
are here for you.

Get your hand
off me.
Good job.

Shut up.

- Hey, I'm D.P.
This is Wings--
- Timber and Two Ton.

Yeah, I remember you guys.
It's all comin' back to me.

- Like it was yesterday.
- It was yesterday.

Anyway, we just wanted
to see how you were feeling.

Yeah. Lucky it wasn't
your eyeball.

[ Slurps, Pops ]

Well, I'm fine now.
Thanks for stopping by, kids.
See ya around.

What's with this
constant "kid" crap?

I'm really glad
you're not gonna be
playing on our team.

- What team?
- Our team.
We play on the sandlot.

[ Whispering ]
The sandlot.
[ Wings ] Yeah, sandlot.

- Needs another player.
- And only because the best
ballplayer in the history...

of sandlot is back,
puttin' on a clinic.

Who said anything about me
putting on a clinic?

- You?
- I'm talkin' about Benny.

The Jet.
Rodriguez.

[ Chucking ]
That bum?
"Bum"?

He's got the best
batting average
on the Dodgers this year.

Wait. He's here too?

Benny's amazing, man.
The best.

Please. Benny only got as far
as he did because he can run.

Then his knee tanked him.
He retired and became a coach.

What's he talking about?
[ Sara ]
You should go with them, honey.

Fresh air'll
do you some good.
But, Mom--

No buts. Get out.
I'm serious.

Let me get my mitt.

[ Whispering ]
Guy's nuts.
[ Indistinct ]

[ Sniffs ]

** [ Folk-Rock Intro ]

[ Man ]
* Sky's falling
through the solid ground *

* The world shook
and I'm all alone *

* Where are you now *

* When everything
was goin' my way *

** [ Indistinct ]

* So tell me *

* Old friend
where are you now *

* You were standing
right beside me *

* Where are you now *

** [ Ends ]

All right, so we're
gonna do some hitting,
some fielding,

and you're gonna
play outfield.

D.P., behind the plate,
as usual.

[ Wings ]
We've got everybody here.
Let's play.

I want you three
to play outfield.

[ Boy ]
We've got this
new kid today.

- We're gonna have
four outfielders then.
- That makes sense.

Let's play some ball.
All right, fellas,
let's go.

I want you to focus.
When I start talking,
I want you listening, okay?

All right, let's go.

[ Chattering, Whooping ]

Hey, Benny, over here.
You might wanna get
a little further out there.

[ Boy ]
Out there, Two Ton.
Here we go, fellas.

Hey, Benny.
It's pretty weird, right?

I mean, it's like
The Twilight Zone
or something.

Maybe you could tell me
how we, uh, got...

here.

You asking me
how I got here?

Same way these kids
are gonna get there.

'Cause they love to play ball.
That's the key, kid.
You look so--

So--
Yeah?

Well, young.
Really?

Maybe I should be lookin'
in the same mirror
you're lookin' in, kid.

No, I wouldn't really
recommend that.

Come on, hotshot.
Let's see what you got.

You know what?
I think I'm just
gonna watch.

- Okay.
- Some all-star.

"All-star"? Ha.

As in, "I'll start later."
Just full of it.

I'll tell you,
try to do a weirdo a favor,
and it just gets "weirdo-er."

- Yeah, really.
- Get ready, fellas.
Here it comes.

Let's go.
Get it!

Come on.
That's it.
I've got it.

Nice. Now throw it
back home.

Oh, nice throw.

Yeah, nice catch.

You new to town?

Not really.
I'm Squints Palledorous.

Baseball commissioner,
right?
Yeah, that's right.

Go, Wings! Go, Wings!

Wings.
You know Wings McKay?

Sure.
You can never forget
that kind of speed.

[ Laughs ]
Kid's got no second gear,
that's for sure.

It's gonna catch up
to him though.

I don't think anyone
can catch him.
Except the cops.

- [ Boy ]
Hey, Wok, move to second.
- [ Boy #2 ] Come on, Q.

Just pick up
the ball, Q.
In a minute.

That's Q. Short for I.Q.
He's wicked smart.

Not really that great
an outfielder though.

I'm using
the probability calculation
of wind-speed velocity...

versus the angle
of the descent of the ball.

I'm gonna descend upon your
head if you don't pick up
that ball and throw it in.

Takes it all apart.
Breaks everything down
to a science.

You ever notice how
the wind-speed velocity changes
when you speak, Two Ton?

Pick up the ball now.

I guess it paid off.
He's only one of
the biggest brain surgeons--

I mean brains
in the world.

[ Laughs ]
You okay, kid?

You might wanna get
out of the sun.

It's not the sun.
I just can't believe
what I'm seeing.

That's not good.
Here.

Here. You give this card
to your mom, come in,

I'll set you up
with some quality shades.

Speakin' of the shade.
Come on, kid.

Follow me.

What's up with this "kid" crap?

[ Benny ]
Oh, nice, Timber.
Go to second.

All right, here we go.
Another--
Wings, go to first.

[ Benny ]
Nice catch.
That guy taking the mound.

His name's Timber.
That kid can throw
some real heat.

- Yeah.
- But he can't pitch
at batters, right?

Yeah, left or right.
Put anybody in the box,
his arm turns into spaghetti.

- Whoa!
- Sorry.

Okay, that's good.
Just keep throwin' 'em
a little lower.

You're doin' good.

Should have worn
a batting helmet.

You know a lot
about these kids
for a new kid.

[ Chuckles ]
What do you know
about Wok and Roll?

It's a little old school.

Lately I've been getting
into some hip-hop,
some rap here and there.

What? I'm talking about
Matt "Wok" Wakamoto...

and Rolando "Roll" Alvarez.

Of course.
Wok and Roll.

How could I forget
those guys?
"Forget those guys"?

No, no. I mean,
together they play great,
separate they play awful.

If you know so much
about these guys,
how come I don't know you?

How come
you're not playing?

Okay, guys, bring it in.
Bring it in.

[ Boy ]
You guys, go. Come on.
[ Boy #2 ] Go!

Okay, now,

do one of you guys
have the guts to hit
off a real major leaguer?

- Oh, no, not me.
- I gotta rest my arm, Benny.

No, he's your guy.
I'm the catcher.

Right here, partner.
Right here.

[ Boy ]
Guys, I gotta see this.
Okay, fine.

[ Boy #2 ]
He's gonna get
his butt whupped.

- Come on,
strike him out, Benny.
- Come on, Benny.

- Strike him out.
- All right.

What's your name, kid?
Tommy Santorelli.

And I promise you this.
You're not gonna
forget it, Benny.

Ooh!
Oh, man.
Ho, ho.

- Who does this kid
think he is, Hank Aaron?
- I like your confidence, kid.

- Now let's see what you got.
- This is like déjà vu.

What's like déjà vu?
This is like déjà vu.

What's like déjà vu?
[ Laughs ]

Got ya.

I'm just gonna go
nice and easy on ya
at first, okay?

You know what, Benny?
That's always been your problem.
You're too nice.

- Excuse me?
- You're excused.

[ Jeering ]

Now bring it.

Okay.

And Santa takes it
to the North Pole.

Nice shot, kid.
All right, now a little more.

You're gonna have to do
better than that, Benny.
Come on.

Yeah, I think his swing
might be better than
Hank Aaron's.

Yeah.

All right, now,
I'm gonna give you
a little more heat, okay?

Please hit this.

Don't worry about it.
I'm the Santa. Come on.

Whoa.

Good pick, kid.

Wait. Your name's Ryan, right?

Hey, what do you say?

Where'd you learn
to hit like that, kid?

Starin' down the likes
of Randy Johnson,
Roger Clemens.

- You learn fast,
or you die trying.
- Who are those guys?

- Must be seventh graders.
- Seventh graders.

Hey, with him on our team,
we could enter
the all-city championships.

- "Enter"?
You guys could win it.
- Very high probability.

Wait a minute, guys.
Who said anything about
me playing on your team?

I'm not gonna
be here that long.

Look at it this way.
I showed you how it's done.
That's my gift to you.

Hey, they don't call me
the Santa for nothin'.

[ Grumbling ]
Stupid Santa.

You got some talent, kid.

There's a lot more
to baseball than talent.

Maybe you should have taken
some of that advice
in the '81 World Series.

[ Chuckles ]

I like you, kid.
You got quite
the imagination.

'81 World Series, huh?

You guys see that homer?
It was pretty
good, right?

Yeah.
You need to show us how.

Squints! How's it
goin' there, buddy?
Like you really care.

Just being polite.

E.J., all the way
to the fence now.

What are you doing here,
Needman?

- Taking some measurements.
- Measurements? For what?

Oh, didn't you hear?
City's putting the sandlot
up for sale.

- You can't sell the sandlot.
- Oh, yeah, they can,
and I'm buying it.

Excuse me?
Face it, Squints.

This old field
has run its course.

Besides, there's no
real talent over here
nowadays anyway.

Well, you didn't see
what I just saw.

Well, I know
that I can fetch
a nice price tag...

on some newly
developed condos
right where we're standing.

Well, as long as
I'm commissioner here,
I don't see that happening.

Yeah? Well, then clean
your glasses,

because you got the future
right here, and you don't
even see it.

Don't slack that off now!

E.J.! Take it all the way
out to the fence.

[ Continues, Indistinct ]

So, did you have fun
playing today?

It was a little below
my league, but yeah,
I think I did.

That's great, sweetie.
I'm glad.

How was your day?
Are you feeling all right?

I'm feeling fine,
sweetie.

You're sweet
for asking though.

Wow. I really miss
our movie nights.
What are you talking about?

We haven't missed
a movie night
in months.

Oh, I hope this movie
isn't too scary for you.

Young Frankenstein?
It gets funnier
every time I see it.

[ Two Ton ]
Great. Now we gotta wait
two hours to talk to him.

Why do we need this kid
on our team anyway?

- With him we could
have a real team.
- Maybe win the championship.

Yeah!
Who cares about
those butt-faces anyway?

I care about kicking
those butt-faces' butts.

- He wasn't that "boffanado."
- I took some calculations
today.

At the risk of sounding
like a dweeb,

if you don't count the pitch
he didn't swing at,

Tommy's batting average
was 1,000.

You are L-7 weenies.

[ Whispering ]

Guys. Guys, let's go.
Let's go. Come on.

Shh!
Shh!

Two Ton's goin' in.
Open the window.

[ Chattering ]

[ Pounding, Grunting ]

- You okay over there?
- [ Breaks Wind ]

Oh! He got me
with my mouth open.

[ Two Ton ]
Oh, I knew I shouldn't have
had that last cheeseburger.

Sometimes you gotta
wait five minutes.

- [ Grunting ]
- Just relax
and let it come out.

What I do is, I count backwards.
[ Grunting Continues ]

- Five.
- [ Grunting ]

Four.

Ooh.
Three.

- Two.
- [ Moans ]

One.

That's it.
I bet you feel better already.

- [ Groans ]
- [ Clamoring ]

- [ Clattering ]
- [ Groaning ]

- You okay, buddy?
- [ Indistinct ]

- [ Chattering ]
- [ Thump ]

[ Chattering ]

[ Thumping Continues ]
Did you want to borrow
some T.P.?

[ Clattering ]

Whoa!
Whoa!

- [ Chattering ]
- Get off me. Come on.

I should have known.

There's only one stall.
Yeah. One.

We all had to go bad.

You're not gonna rat on us,
are you, Uncle Pork Chop?

Yeah. Yeah, we're not here
to see the movie or anything.

No. We just wanted
to see the new kid.

He's our only shot
at the all-city
championship.

Yeah.
Relax, boys.

The big Pork Chop
wasn't always a cop.

Besides, it's my night off.

Oh.
Just as long as we don't
have a situation here.

We're not gonna have
a situation here, are we?

No.
Are you sure?

Good.
You wait here
for my signal.

[ Together ]
Yes!

Evening, Pork Chop.
Hey, Casper.
Can I get some popcorn?

You bet.
Thanks.

Here you go.
It's fresh.

Good. Oh, Uh--
I'll take a little bit
of butter on that.

Oh, of course.
Thank you.

Well, it's topping, but--
Yeah.

Here it is.
There you are.

Thank you very much.
Yeah. Everything okay?

You seem a bit edgy.
No, I'm fine. I'm fine.

Just a little parched.
I could do with a Fanta.
Yeah!

An orange Fanta,
if you have one.
Yeah, of course.

Fanta.
Thanks.

Here's, uh--
Here you go.
Thank you very Much.

That's good. That's good.
I'm feelin' a little
peckish though.

What else can I get for you?
Listen, can I get
some Jujubes too?

Jujubes comin' up.
Thanks.

[ Whispering ]
Go!

There you go.
Mm-mmm. Okay, that should
just about do it,

except now I need
something sweet.

[ Whispering ]
Goobers.
Is everything all right?

Yeah, just a little
athlete's foot.

[ Two Ton Whispering ]
Don't open 'em.

You're one of
the good ones, Cassie.
Okay.

[ Electrical Sputtering ]

This movie gets funnier
every time I see it.

Psst! Guys, I got 'im.

Hey, Tommy.

Hey, Tommy, Mrs. Santorelli.
How you guys doin'?

What are you guys
doing here?

Stop it.
What?

Why don't you take
your friends outside
so you can talk?

I'll miss the part
where the monster sings
and dances.

I love this part.

What do you mean,
the monster sings
and dances?

Nothing. I'll just go.
[ Man Shouting In Movie ]

It's my favorite part.
You guys, come on.

Excuse me.
Hi, Mrs. Santorelli.

Look, fellas,
I appreciate you asking
and everything,

but truth is I have too much
going on in my life right now.

We wouldn't be here
if we didn't need you.

Truth is, we're not exactly
what one would call "good."

I'm sorry, guys. I can't.

Hey!
Tommy, I'm only gonna
ask you this once,

so I want you to be
completely honest
with me, okay?

Mm-hmm.
Can you spot me 25 cents
for some Goobers?

God.
Are you serious?
Geez Louise.

- I only have a nickel.
- My guess is you guys
don't have any tickets.

What do you got to say
for yourself?

We're with him.

- Kill the monster.
- "Kill the monster"?

Kill the monster!

- See ya. Wouldn't wanna be ya.
- Smell ya. Shouldn't have
to tell ya.

- Bye, bye.
- Adios.

[ Clamoring ]
Hey, I'm calling the cops.

Hey! Come back here.

Officer Pork Chop,
I need you.

Hey, manager,
you can't catch me.

- I see your faces.
- [ Boy ]
Not now.

Where are your parents?

Pork Chop, some help here?

Come on, let's go!
Keep running.

Excuse me.
[ Boy ]
Ow! He almost got me.

Come on!

Okay, we're out. We're out.
Let's go, let's go,
let's go.

Goobers. Goobers.

Come on, Two Ton.
Hey!

I have needs.

I got ya!
Oh, I got ya
right there.

Hey, usher guy,
I found my tickets.

There's only two.
What about all the other guys?

What other guys?

Hey! You--

[ Whirring ]

Whoo.

One chocolate shake
comin' up.

Why, hello there, sweetie.

[ Laughs ]
Who are you callin'
sweetie, junior?

Just trying to be friendly,
that's all.

All right,
little lady-killer,

why don't you lean back
and tell me what you want.

How about a coffee?

A coffee? At your age?
You crack me up, kid.

Here's a cherry Coke.
Kids these days wanna
grow up so fast.

What?

Look, I'm not gonna play.

There's just too much
going on in my life right now
you just wouldn't understand.

Hit me again?

All right, look.
I might as well tell you.

It's not like you're gonna
go tell anybody, right?

Thanks.

I'm not supposed to be here.
I was transported back here
from the future.

I'm really a superstar.
Last season I hit a .328
for the Dodgers.

I was on a box of Wheaties.

I'm gonna be elected
into the Hall of Fame.

Chicks dig me.
Men wanna be me.

That's my real life.

Not this place.

I don't know if this
is a dream...

or a second chance...

or what.

I'm gonna enjoy it
for as long as it lasts,

'cause of one reason
and one reason only.

My mom's here.

I'm gonna spend as much time
with her as possible.

I knew you'd understand.

Hey, Ryan?

Thanks for listening, buddy.

That boy's mute.
Yeah, I know.

What happened there?
He hasn't spoken a word...

- since his father died
four years ago.
- Whoa.

- How much do I owe you?
- It's on the house.
Get out of here.

By the way, this fall,
Jimmy Carter wins.

What?
Cat got your tongue?

More like cat
got his brain.
[ Laughs ]

Teach this punk
a lesson, boys.

Hey, why don't you
leave the kid alone?

Yeah? Why don't you
mind your own business?
Man.

I forgot how much
of a chump you were, E.J.

How do you know my name?
'Cause no one forgets
the town bully.

- You got a big mouth,
you know that?
- Hey, you're that new kid--

The one that everyone says
is the best baseball player
in town.

No, no, no.
I'm the new kid that's
asking you politely...

to let the kid
go on his way.

And if we don't?
Do you really
wanna find out?

You're outnumbered
seven to one.

Yeah, and the odds
aren't exactly
in your favor.

[ D.P. ]
Everything cool
over here?

[ Whistles ]
Saved by the cavalry.

I don't need them
to take you on, E.J.

You'll need anything
you can get your hands on,

"Santa-smelly."
Okay, look.

I'm not gonna get into this
sophomoric, name-calling
contest with a kid.

Frankly, it's beneath me.

Well, maybe it's because
you're a "lame-oid" loser...

with pimple breath.
That's an
intelligent comeback.

Got anymore, Einstein?
Or is that all your pea brain
is capable of?

[ Laughter ]
"Pea brain"? That's
a really good one, man.

You gonna let him
get away with that, E.J.?

You know, you should
spend more time...

working on your
baseball practice
than your weak insults.

- Insulting you isn't work.
- Oh, yeah?

It comes pretty easy.

Dog face. Turd mouth.
Rotten-faced bonehead.

Ignorant, pathetic
sociopath-in-training.

I have no idea
what that means,
but it sounded good, guys.

Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.

At least my girlfriend
doesn't wear a collar.

I heard your girlfriend got
kicked out of an ugly contest...

because they said
no professionals allowed.

[ Laughing ]

Now, is it true that your mother
smacked the doctor
when you were born?

- [ Imitates Rim Shot ]
- Oh. Speaking of mothers,

do you guys need
another player?

'Cause my mom plays ball
pretty good, and she's better
than all you fools.

[ Chattering ]

Sorry. What was that?
Go ahead.

Go ahead. Go ahead.
I can't-- I can't hear you.
I'm listening. Go ahead.

Well, at least
my mom's not sick.

You ever say something
like that again,
I will ruin you.

- Oh, yeah?
- Don't mess with me
on this, E.J.

I'll go Tarantino
on you so fast...

you won't know
what hit you.
Tear a what?

That's some kind
of martial arts.

In moron terms,

it means I'm gonna hurt you.

I'm gonna hurt you real bad,
you got that?

And you, weirdo.
Next time be a man.

Fight your own battles.
Let's go, guys.

Yeah, beat it.

Get out of here.
We don't like
you here anyway.

You okay, man?

- Do we get to play him?
- [ All ]
Yeah.

Sure do.

- I'm in.
- [ All ]
Yeah!

[ Cheering ]

Hey, Mom, I was thinking
about joining a team...

with those kids
from the movie
the other night.

That's if you're
feeling okay.
Are you down with that?

Honey, I'm feeling fine.

And why would you possibly think
I'd be down with it?

I'm definitely up with it.

Cool.

[ Door Opens,
Closes ]
Groovy.

If you want it to ride?
Mm-hmm?

Throw it two-seam, okay?
Two seam?

Come on, Timber,
let's go.

- Two seam.
- Right down the middle.

Ow! Timber,
take it easy.

Come on, D.P.
You're such a wimp.
Get in the game.

What are you whining about?
Why don't you come
and play catcher.

-That's where you belong anyhow.
-Just because I'm husky doesn't
mean I have to play catcher.

Two Ton?
What?

- You're not husky.
- See?

You're fat.
That's it.

The death of Wok and Roll,
right here, right now.
Come here!

Whoa!
Run!
Guys!

Can we play some baseball?

- Is practice always
like this?
- No.

- Sometimes Two Ton
chases somebody else.
- Come on, Timber.

- Just pretend
like I'm not here, okay?
- Batter up, guys. Let's go.

Two seam again?
Two seam.

Just try
to hit my bat, okay?

- [ Groans ]
- Ooh! Sorry.

Gee!
[ Groans ]

Wrong bat, Timber.

- Guys, look at this.
- [ Groaning Continues ]

What are we gonna do
about Timber's
control problems?

I bet Wings has got
some good ideas.

[ High Voice ]
Timber, if I live,
you're dead.

I don't know about you guys,
but I'm gettin' a cup.

Hey, Two Ton.
What do you want?

I got a hurts doughnut.
You want one?

Doughnut? Sure.
Okay.

Ow!

Hurts, don't it?
Hurts, don't it?

You know something?
You guys are better
than I remember.

With a little help from me,
I can hammer you
into a winning team.

How ever can we pay you,
your holiness of baseball?

Look. All we wanted you
to do was play with us
'cause you're real good.

We didn't ask you
to coach or anything.

Squints coaches the games
and Benny comes by
when he can.

- We just needed another player.
- How often can Benny come by?

His team's hanging on
by a thread,

and with me gone, he's got
nobody to work with.

What you talkin' about?

I heard Benny the Jet
hurt his knee
in Cincinnati last night.

I heard it's pretty serious.
Uncle Chops said he was
gonna be out for six weeks.

Hey, knowing Benny,
he'll be playing in two.
That knee's always trouble.

Yeah? In '96,
he got that replaced
and it ended his car--

- Car-- Career?
- 1996?

- I've gotta go.
- [ D.P. ]
Replaced his knee?

But if we are gonna
be a real team, we're
gonna need some equipment--

bats, balls,
a new glove for Wings
and some pad for D.P.

The last thing
I wanna be is a coach.

I just figure
that if we're gonna play,

we should play like pros
and play to win.

See ya.

[ Indistinct Conversations ]

- Order!
- [ Chattering ]

Please, people.

Mr. Needman still
has the floor.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

I know most of you have
a sentimental attachment
to that old sandlot.

Heck, I even used
to play ball there myself,
back in the day.

The truth of the matter is,

that old sandlot is sitting
smack-dab in the middle...

of some very profitable land
for this town.

Now, I am not
gonna stand up here
and lie to you fine people,

and tell you that I'm not
in this to make a buck,

because I am,
and I sure will.

The fact remains,
this town has seen
some hard times lately,

and we could use this.

Now if this council votes
to allow me to build,

the condominiums I'm proposing
will bring nice,
affordable housing,

more jobs
and more pride.

Now, let's be honest.
Who couldn't use a little
of that nowadays?

I can't believe this.
Come on, folks.

The only thing
that Earl Needman
has ever cared about...

is fattening his wallet.
[ Man ]
That's right.

Now, if we vote
to let him do this now,

we're losing something
more important than any
of us can imagine.

And what would that,
Mr. Palledorous?

- Our history.
- [ Man ]
Yeah.

And our future.
How many of you grew up
playing ball in that field?

[ Man ]
I did.
And how many of you...

are willing to take
that opportunity away
from your kids?

This man is,
unless we stop him now.

[ Cheering, Chattering ]

Well, it, uh, seems
we all have a lot
to consider.

We'll reconvene next
on July the second,

and we'll decide
on this matter then, huh?

Meeting adjourned.
[ Chattering ]

People, this is the chance
of a lifetime.

Chance of a lifetime!
People--

[ Thunder Rumbling ]

[ Echoing ]
Chance of a lifetime--

[ Echoing ]
Tommy.

Wake up, darling.

[ Groans ]
What happened?
You crashed after the game.

You've been asleep
for a few hours now,
but Lou's here to see you.

Lou? What's my agent
doing here?
[ Cell Phone Ringing ]

That's me. Lou.

That's chump change.
Call me back with the real deal.

I've got shoes
that cost more than that.

New York Yankees.
The Big Apple, baby!

New York?
But Tommy I took
my residency here.

Babe, we're talking
about the New York Yankees.

That's 3,000 miles away.

Tommy is a money machine.
The owners, they want to
buy him, okay?

The fans, they want to
pay to see him.

He is what baseball
should be--

caps, T-shirts, memorabilia,
cash just for signing your name.

They have these things
called bobble-head dolls now.
All right?

It's payday,
and New York is the ticket.

That's the way it was,
the way it always will be.

Yankees! Yankees.

They are making me
the offer of a lifetime.

- I thought
that's what I was doing.
- [ Tapping ]

- Can you hear that?
- Not now.

Tommy, this is us
we're talking about.
Baby, I love you.

Judy, no!
[ Panting ]

[ Judy's Voice ]
You're not gonna get
another chance.

[ Tapping ]
[ D.P. ]
Tommy, wake up.

Tommy, you're gonna miss
the chance of a lifetime.

Come on. Open it.

We're going to get
that equipment
you talked about.

- In the middle of the night?
What's open?
- Old Man Mertle's house.

- [ Q ] Yeah.
- It sounds like
breaking and entering.

- The place is abandoned.
- Except for the treasure.

You want to stay
on the right side
of the law.

- [ Imitating Chickens ]
- Told you he wouldn't go.

Come on. Let pretty boy here
get his beauty sleep.

Go now, Tommy.
You're not gonna get
a second chance at this.

Hold on. I'll come.

[ Thunder ]
[ Two Ton ]
Can somebody please tell me...

why we didn't go over
the back fence?

[ Wok ]
Because pushing your fat butt
over could get real stinky.

[ D.P. ]
So I heard that Mr. Mertle was
once a great baseball player...

until he went blind after
getting hit with a baseball
in the head.

Legend has it
that he has a secret stash
of old baseball stuff.

[ Tommy ]
So whatever happened
to Mr. Mertle?

Some say he just died.
Others say he up and vanished.

Hit in the head
with a baseball?
Vanished?

[ Thunder ]

- [ Two Ton ] Guys,
I just saw something move.
- Guys, it's just a house.

- If we're going to do this,
let's do it.
- What about the ghost?

[ D.P. ]
All right. Come on. Let's go.
All right. Move! Move! Move!

[ All ] Shut up, D.P.!
All right, move your butts.

- [ Wok ] Hey, check it out.
- [ Roll ] Hercules?
Who names their dog Hercules?

It was probably just some
Chihuahua or something.

You know how people name
their dog just the opposite
of what they are.

[ Thunderclap ]

- That must have been
a grande Chihuahua, man.
- ** [ Whistles ]

[ Thunder ]
[ Boy ]
Let's go.

This-- This is crazy, guys.
That's it. I'm out of here.

Oh, come on.
Don't be such a wuss.
I thought we were a team.

All right, then.
Go ahead, you're up.

I say we send in
one of the little guys,
kind of like a scout.

Since when does the shortest guy
have to go first?

When the taller guys
tell him to.

- Speaking of short guys,
where's Ryan?
- [ Wok ] Yeah, where is he?

- Where is he?
He was here?
- [ All Screaming ]

[ Barking ]

- It's Ryan!
- Ohh!

- Gutsy move, kid.
Pretty impressive.
- [ Boy ] What was that for?

[ Tommy ]
You guys check this floor.
I'll check upstairs.

[ All Screaming ]

[ Exhales ]

That's a big baseball.

- [ Shouting ]
- [ Screaming ]

That's not funny,
you idiot!

Whoa! That's a big baseball.

[ Thunder ]

[ Both Scream ]

[ Both Sigh ]

You stay here.
Yeah.

I'm gonna check
over there, okay?
Yeah.

[ Squeaking ]

- Bats!
- Baseball bats?

No, bat bats!
[ Squeaking ]

[ Both Screaming ]

If I were something
really important,

where would I be?

[ Sighs ]
Let's go, guys.
Come on.

[ Thunder ]

[ Both Screaming ]

- There's nothing down there.
- Except for bats.

[ Timber ] Baseball bats?
[ Together ]
No. Bats bats.

Oh, okay. There's nothing
here, either.

Yeah, this place is a bust.
Hey, up there.
Let's beat it.

Come on, let's go.
Let's go.

Come on, guys.

What is that?

My best guess
would be a hole.

Bingo.

- I told you
there's treasure in here.
- This is treasure, all right.

But why leave it in
such an obvious place?

[ Clunking, Creaking ]

I've got a bad feeling
about this, guys.

What should we do?

[ Together ]
Run!

Hey, guys!

- [ Screaming ]
- [ All Screaming ]

* Oh, it's getting so hard
livin' with the things
you do to me *

[ Screaming ]
Get it off!

* Oh, my dreams
are getting so strange *

* I'd like to tell you
everything I see *

- Oh, no.
- * Oh, I see a man
in the back *

* As a matter of fact
his eyes are red as the sun *

* And the girl in the corner
Let no one ignore her *

* 'Cause she thinks
she's the passionate one *

* Oh, yeah
It was like lightning *

* Everybody was frightening
And the music was soothing *

* And they all started
grooving *
* Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah *

* And the man in the back said
everyone attack and it turned
into a ballroom blitz *

* And the girl in the corner
said boy, I wanna warn ya *

* And it turned into
a ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz *

* Ballroom blitz *

* Ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz *

* I'm reaching out
for something *

* Touching nothing's
all I ever do *

[ Rumbling ]
* Oh, I softly call you over *

* When you appear there's
nothing left of you *

- * Uh-huh *
- [ Screaming ]

* Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah *

* And the man in the back said
everyone attack and it turned
into a ballroom blitz *

* And the girl in the corner
said boy, I wanna warn ya *
That's a big baseball.

* Ballroom blitz *

* Ballroom blitz **
[ D.P. ]
You brought the ball?

Of course.
Then I think
we've got everything.

- We do now.
This is the real treasure.
- [ Two Ton ] Whoa.

[ D.P. ] Yeah, it's signed
by all the '63 Dodgers.
Koufax. Drysdale.

- Tommy Davis.
- The whole team!

- I say we sell it.
- That's loco.
- No, you loco.

- Imagine what you can
get for this on eBay.
- [ Together ] What bay?

Nothing. I don't ever think
we should ever sell this ball.
I mean, it's why we found it.

Old man Mertle's trying to
tell us something.

- I think he's right, guys.
- So what do you say? Deal?

[ All ]
Deal!
Our ball!

Our lucky charm.
Our championship.

On three, guys.
One, two, three!
[ All ] Sandlots!

Yeah!
Let's go!

Now, I've seen it
time and time again.

Teams not playing
up to their full potential.

- Time and time again?
- I've been around, Wings.

Now, listen,
the thing of it is,
you guys could be good.

You guys got the stuff,
but we're going to have
to work on some basics,

play heads-up ball,
work together as a team,
all right?

Yeah!
All right.

- Now just remember,
baseball's more than just--
- Talent.

- Benny?
- Benny!

What's up, man?
Hey!

Hey, man.
Hey, how's it going?
We missed you.

How's the ankle, man?
Oh, it's okay. I figured instead
of laying around the house...

I'd come out and see how
the old sandlot gang
is doing, right?

- Yeah!
- What about you, Santorelli?

Seems like you've
had a change of heart
since a few days ago.

I've seen some things,
that's all.

Yeah? Well, I'm glad.

What do you say
you take center field,
then shag some fly balls?

I mean, that is,
if there's room for more
than one coach on this team.

[ Chuckles ]
I'd say that's...
boffanado!

[ All ]
Yeah!

Here, let me
take those for you.
Ah, thanks, D.P.

Thanks, Benny.

Right here, Benny.
Come on, Ben.

All right, let's turn two!

* In the summertime
when the weather is high *

* You can stretch right up
and touch the sky *

* When the weather's right
you got women *

* You got women on your mind *
Turn two.

Hit the cutoff.
* Have a drink
Have a drive *

* Go out and see
what you can find *

* If her daddy's rich
take her out for a meal *

* If daddy's poor
just do what you feel *

* Speed along the lane
Do a ton or a ton and 25 *

Slide!
There you go!

* When the sun goes down
you can make it *
Come on. Come on.

All right!
* We're not gray people *

* We're not dirty
We're not mean *

* We love everybody
but we do as we please *

* When the weather's fine
we go fishing *

[ Benny ]
Okay. New plan.

* We're always happy
Life's for living *

* Yeah, that's our philosophy *

* Sing along with us
Dee-dee-dee-dee-dee *

- * Da-da-da-da-da
Yeah, we're happy happy *
- Okay, try it again.

- * Da-da-da-da-dah *
- D.P., give me a target.

- * Yeah, Da-dee-da-da-dah *
- Yes!

* Da-da-da-da-dah *

* All right *

** [ Continues ]

Dig, dig, dig, dig, dig!

All right, he was out.

All right, so.
Ear, chin, ear, chin.

Slap, slap, slap.

* When the winter's here
Yeah, it's party time *

* Bring a bottle
It'll soon be summertime *

* And we'll sing again
We'll be driving
Or we maybe settle down **

Good jobs, you guys.
All right, bring it in.
Bring it in.

** [ Ends ]
[ Groans ]

Nice catch.
[ Chattering ]

Yeah, that was--
that was so groovy.

Well, what do you say,
Santorelli?

Think these guys are ready
for the city tournament?

Yeah, I think
they can bring it.

- Bring it? What?
- What?

-What were we supposed to bring?
-Home. Bring it home
to the sandlot!

- [ All ] Oh!
- Not so fast, guys.

Squints!
You can't be a real
team without--

Uniforms!
Whoa!

Squints, they look perfect!

- Far out.
- Just like you.

Here you go, kid.
All, right.

- Come on, guys,
pick a number.
- Whoa.

I've got seven!
I've got first dibs on 12!

** [ "Yankee Doodle" ]

Welcome one and all
to the Valley Little League
Baseball Tournament.

Yes, where all teams
are invited,

but only one team
gets to take home
this here trophy.

So let's get to it.
Play ball!

[ All Shouting ]

** [ Rock ]
Okay, guys.

** [ Continues ]

* Sixteen days on the road
Yeah, that's all I need *

Come on, guys.
Get back to the dugout.
Come on.

[ Two Ton ]
Strike him out, Timber.

* She rocked me down
through F-L-A *
[ Man ] Out!

- * Sixteen days on the road *
- [ Boy ]
Come on, Ryan. Get it!

[ Man ]
Out!

* Yeah, 16 days on the road
We got it made *

- Come on, Tommy!
- [ Cheering ]

** [ Continues ]

* Whiskey and smoke
for breakfast *

* Keepin' them
Southern boys proud *

** [ Continues ]
Yeah, Tommy!

* All the way to Savannah, G-A *

Hey, that Santorelli kid,
he ain't bad.
Ain't bad?

The kid's the best thing to
happen to the sandlot since the
day Benny conquered the beast.

* Sixteen days on the road
Yeah, we got it made *

[ Two Ton ]
Make way for Two Ton.

Play ball!
[ Woman ]
All right, Two Ton.

All right, Two Ton,
bring Tommy home.

Let's go.

Strike one!

[ Timber ]
Keep going! Keep going!
Keep going, keep going!

* Days on the road
Yeah, we got it made *

Down! Down!
He's safe!

- Nice!
- Ohh!

* Whiskey and smoke
breakfast *

* Keepin' them
Southern boys proud *

** [ Continues ]

- Out!
- [ Cheering ]

* Sixteen days on the road
Yeah, we got it made *

That's two in a row.
Two to go.

We keep this up, we'll be
playing Needman's team
in the championships.

With Tommy,
I think we might
actually have a shot.

All right, fellows, good game.
Get in the dugout,
batting order. Let's go.

Hey, Chop.
Any inside word on
the city council vote?

Oh, yeah.
Split right down
the center every time.

What's it going to take to
get this thing behind us?

** [ Continues ]

* Yeah, you know
I just can't stay *

* Sixteen days on the road
Yeah, we got it made *

* Man, these days on the road
Yeah, we got it made *

* Well, man, these days
on the road *
Mom! Mom! We won! We won.

That's great, sweetheart.

** [ Ends ]
Honey, we have a visitor.

Mr. Needman came by and has
something very important
to talk to you about.

I saw you play today.
You've got a lot of potential,
if you're on the right team.

Needman.

[ Projector Whirring ]

[ Crowd Cheering ]

Of course.

[ Gavel Raps ]

Mr. Chairman,
have we come to a decision?

Sadly, we have not.
The vote was a dead tie
every time we took it,

which brings us
to a crossroads,
I'm afraid.

We will have to push this
back until next quarter.

What?
You can't do that!

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Wait a minute now.
We have to act on this now.

[ Man ]
Yes.
I'm open to suggestions.

- Why don't you just give it
to my dad? He deserves it.
- Shut up.

Well, Mr. Chairman,
if I may,

I think I have a solution
that would be the fairest way
to settle this matter.

I'd love to hear it.

Well, I'm not one
to believe in miracles,

but it appears
Mr. Palledorous's
Sandlot team...

is playing my team
in the All-Valley Championship
Baseball Tournament.

Yes, we're all proud
of our sandlot boys.

I propose a challenge.

If my team wins,
we get to build and develop
on the sandlot.

Mr. Palledorous's team wins,
the sandlot stays.

- I'm in for that.
Hear, hear!
- [ Chattering ]

All right.

We have no objections,
if Mr. Palledorous
will honor the challenge.

Do it, Squints.
The kids are playing
great ball,

and with Santorelli
in center field,
we can't be beat.

[ Chattering ]

All right, Mr. Chairman.
We accept the challenge.

[ Cheering ]

On one condition.

The game for the sandlot
is played on the sandlot.

- [ Cheering ]
- Done!

[ Tommy ]
So, you see, guys?
I have no choice.

I have to play
for Needman.

I made the over-the-wall catch
in the bottom of the ninth...

to win the All-City
Championship.

And Needman had the St. Agnus
coach come to that game,
and he saw the whole thing.

So you see, it was
because of that catch
I got into St. Agnus Prep.

Because of my years in
St. Agnus, I got scouted
and drafted in the first place.

So I have to do it.

I've got
no other choice here.

Plus my mom thinks
it's the best thing for me.

I can't risk my whole future
for the sandlot, can I?

Maybe you're the one who
shouldn't speak for a while.

You can talk?

Hey, wait! Ryan!

Hold on a sec!

Ryan.
Hey, why did you do that?

You play with us, teach us all
this great stuff about baseball,

being a team,
playing together.

Now you're going to
up and leave us?
But I have to.

You don't have to do nothing.
You're a crock, man.

We looked up to you.
You made us feel for the game,
and it showed.

I thought we were
showing you something too.
Yeah? What's that?

Friendship, dummy.

- [ Baseball Bat Cracks ]
- Yeah, get it, Tommy.

- Come on, Tommy!
- Come on! Come on!

[ Boy ]
What? Come on.
[ Boy #2 ] What was that?

Look, I don't know how
you do things over there
in Loserville,

but here we have a way
of doing things.

We hit the cutoff man.
Do you understand me?

Just let me do
what I have to do.
Leave me alone, E.J.

Something wrong,
Santorelli?
I'm here, aren't I?

Yeah, well, at the big
championship game...

I'm going to need you
more than just here,
you understand?

A lot of people
counting on you, boy.

I'll be fine.
For your sake,
I hope so.

And the rest of you guys,
you've all got to work harder.

I bet that other team is
busting their butts trying
to get ready for this game!

- [ D.P. ] Oh! No way!
- Seven jawbreakers,
ladies and gentlemen!

- Whoa, good job, Two Ton.
- He's gonna pop, guys!

[ All Screaming ]

You've got to lay off
the jawbreakers, man. You're
gonna put somebody's eye out.

Hey, guys, shouldn't we be
practicing for the big game?

Give me some more.
I'm going for eight.

[ D.P. ]
Beat your own record.
Put them in.

Go! Go!
Put more.

Hey, sorry
I'm late, buddy.
Oh, Benny.

You didn't have to come help.
I'm sure you must have more
important things to do.

Come on. What's more
important than this?

Looks good.
The old gang would be proud.

[ Squints ] Hey, did you
hear Ham is wrestling at
the State Fair next month?

The old Hambino is
still at it, huh?

How's your knee?
Ah, Doc says I'll probably be
out for the rest of the season.

I'm sorry, Benny.
Hey, don't be.
I'll be all right.

Nothing like it,
though, huh?

Coming out to
the old ball field, spending
the summer with your friends,

playing the sport
you love.
Yeah.

Playing in the majors
must be really great, huh?

I was talking about
you guys.

[ Ryan's Voice ]
Friendship, dummy.

So how's Wendy?
Great.

- [ Benny ] Yeah?
How many kids you got now?
- Oh, four.

Bet they're keeping you busy.
Yeah.

[ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ]

Hey.

Why aren't you
at the game?

I don't know
if I should go.

Why not?

Because I need to be
here with you.

Honey, come here.

I'm so grateful to have
such a wonderful son.

Now you go play
the game you love.

I'll be here
when you get back.

Good things happen
to good people, Tommy.

I'll come home as soon
as the game's over.

I promise.

I love you, Mom.

[ Man ] I know. Exactly.
That's the problem.
Sit down. I saved a spot.

This place is a disaster.

- This place is a gift.
- What do you mean?

I helped my dad measure
this dump. We cream the ball,
even you could hit a home run.

[ Needman ] Let's go, guys.
Go on. Get in here. Hustle up!
Yeah!

So what are we
going to do today?
[ All ] Win!

That's right, and I'm
gonna bulldoze this place
first thing in the morning.

Hey, Bill!

How are you doing?
Better than a doubleheader
on Sundays.

What do you got for me today?
I got something good
for you today.

I hope it's better
than that hair.
Yeah. Yeah. E.J.!

Come on over here.
You remember E.J.
Oh, absolutely.

E.J., how are you doing?
How could I forget?
Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you too.
But how about that Santorelli
kid I've been hearing about?

They tell me a lot about him.
I want to see him.
Oh, yeah, yeah. Uh, Tommy.

Come on over here. I've got
somebody for you to meet.
Hey, Tommy. How are you doing?

I've heard a lot about you.
I've come to watch you play.
I want to see what you can do.

Yeah.
E.J. here, he's been--
I've been practicing.

I've heard a lot about you too.
Okay, well,
I'm going to go warm up.

All right, Tommy.
Nice to meet you.
Nice seeing you.

I'm gonna go warm up.
You won't be disappointed.
All right. Yeah, I-- I hope not.

No. E.J., he's--
he's been improving, yeah.

Yeah, well,
he has great coaching.
Yeah, yeah, that's right, yeah.

Welcome to the Valley
Little League Tournament
championship game.

Ladies and gentlemen,
will you please rise
for our national anthem.

** [ "Star-Spangled Banner" ]

** [ Ends ]
Let's do this!

Dork.
[ Boy ] All right. Let's go.
Let's cream these losers.

[ Whispering ]
Good luck.

They'll be sorry
they were ever born.

I still can't believe
he'd play for Needman!

I knew he was a traitor
all along.
So duplicitous.

Man, we are so dead.
Not only did we lose Tommy,
but we're minus a player.

All right, guys, listen up--
I've got something to say.

- What?
- Did Ryan just speak?

I've been around you guys
for a long time.

One thing I know
is that Benny's right.
You guys love baseball.

You eat, drink and sleep
baseball, but nothing
compares to playing it.

If we give up now,
well, you can say good-bye
to the sandlot forever.

- But you don't--
- Zip it, tubby!

It's my turn to talk.

Tommy taught us a lot
about baseball skills.

Instead of being mad at him,
let's show him exactly what
he failed to learn from us--

how to play the game we love.

I don't know about you guys,
but I don't want to lose this
field to a bunch of butt-faces.

- The mouth on that kid.
- So what are we gonna
do today, boys?

- We're gonna win!
- That's right.

All right, guys.

What he said.
Everybody in.

- Yeah!
- [ All ]
One, two, three! Sandlots!

-I need to talk to you, Needman.
-Hey, isn't that
that Santorelli kid?

I thought he was on
the Sandlot team.

It ain't over till
the fat lady sings.

Oh. Oh, uh, sorry.
[ Chuckles ]

Take your position, Santorelli.
You can tell me after the game.
But I need to talk to you!

Yeah! Whoo!

Are you deaf, son?
Move it. Now!

- Santorelli!
- What is he doing?

Where are you going?
I told you your position.

Wait! What are you doing, boy?
Son, you do not want to do this.

- What do you want?
- I want to win.

Yeah, so do we.

Get lost, Tommy.
Yeah, vamoose.
We don't need you.

Look, I made a mistake.

- I'm sorry.
- What are you saying?

I made a deal to play
for Needman's team, because
I thought it was my destiny.

This isn't the part where
you go off about the Dodgers,

the Hall of Fame
and your smoking-hot
girlfriends, is it?

No. This is that part
where I throw that all away
to do what's right.

Play ball with my friends.

What did I say?
That is, if you'll have me.

Look, I would rather lose
a game with my real team...

than win one for
all the wrong reasons.

You made a bad mistake.

We're not gonna lose.

Take off that ridiculous uniform
and get out ready to bat.

Thanks, Tommy.

Son, you had me
going there.
[ Chuckles ]

What are you doing?
Now, that is not the right
decision to make there, boy.

Hey, Earl.

I won't be
needing this anymore.

[ Man ]
Whoa!
[ Cheering ]

Hey, good thing
I didn't throw this away.

Great to have you back,
Tommy.
[ All ] Yeah!

Son, you can kiss
St. Agnus good-bye.

Yeah, and that's not
the half of it.

- We're gonna play ball
or what?
- [ All ] Yeah!

Let's play ball.

All right.
Let's go!

[ Wok ]
Nice hit, Tommy.

* Well, beat the drum
and hold the phone *

* The sun came out today *

- * We're born again *
- Oh, get under it!
Get under it!

[ Clanking ]

- Yeah, I got it!
- * Rounding third
and headed for home *

* It's a brown-eyed
handsome man *

* Anyone can understand
the way I feel *
This way! No, that way! No--

What are you doing?
He's out of there!

* Oh, put me in, Coach *

* I'm ready to play
Today *

* Put me in, Coach *

Safe!
* I'm ready to play
Today *

- * Look at me
I can be *
- Out!

* Center field *

Come on, Sandlots!
* Well, I spent some time
in the Mudville Nine *

- * Watchin' it
from the bench *
- Yeah! Go! Go!

* You know
I took some lumps when
the mighty Casey struck out *

You're out!

* So Say Hey Willie *
Whoo! You can do it!

* Tell Ty Cobb
and Joe DiMaggio *

* Don't say it ain't so
You know the time is now *

* Oh, put me in, Coach *

* I'm ready to play
Today *

* Put me in, Coach *

* I'm ready to play
Today *

* Look at me
I can be *

- * Center field *
- Safe!

- Let's go, boys!
- * Oh, put me in, Coach *

- * I'm ready to play
Today *
- Safe!

- Come on, Two Ton!
- * Put me in, Coach
I'm ready to play, today *

* Look at me
I can be *

- * Oh, put me in, Coach *
- Are you okay?

* I'm ready to play
Today *
Man, you're out.

* Put me in, Coach
I'm ready to play *

* Today
Look at me *

* Gotta be center field **
- Out!

Yeah!

** [ Ends ]

[ Timber ]
Come on, Tommy!
Send it to the North Pole.

[ Boy ]
Hit a homer, Tommy!
Got a man on!

Walk him, son.

- But, Dad--
- You do what I say.

Hey, Needman. You really
going to put the tying run
in scoring position?

Hey, Rodriguez,
you coach your team
and I'll coach mine, all right?

But, Dad-- I mean, Coach,
I can take this guy.

Time.

I can get him out.
Son, it is too risky.

Look, I got him down.
This punk can't hit
the outside pitch.

I promise you
he's all mine.
No, E.J.

You always said a Needman
never backs down from a fight.

Yeah?
Well, I'm not backing down.

All right,
but if you're wrong,

your new 10-speed bike is
going in the wood chipper,
you understand me?

Two words: wood chipper.

Play ball!

Strike one!

Good pitch, pitcher.

Strike two!

- Come on, boy.
- Don't worry about it, Tommy.

- [ Cheering ]
- [ Man ] Foul ball!

[ Groaning ]

[ Boy ]
Nice try, Tommy.

Come on!
Put it through his kitchen!

Go, Tommy!

Hey, Santa, is that
the North Pole out there?

[ Boy ]
Go, Santa!

That's it, E.J.
You got him just
where you want him.

[ Scoffs ]
You're out of here.

So is this next pitch.

- Run! Run! Run!
- [ Glass Shattering ]

[ Cheering ]

I loved that 10-speed!

Three more outs--
And the sandlot is saved.

[ Tommy ] This is it, guys.
Three outs and the sandlot's
ours forever.

One more thing.
We're gonna use this ball
this inning for luck, remember?

Okay.
On three!

[ Together ]
One, two, three! Sandlots!
Let's go!

Hey, batter.
You've got some...
'sup on your shoe.

- What's 'sup?
- Oh, I-I don't know.
What's up with you?

- Strike three!
- I-- I wasn't ready!

[ Man ]
Out!

What?
I was gonna hit a homer!

Get out of my way.
You were
suppose to walk.

I swing
if I want to swing.

- [ Exhales ]
- [ Boy ] All right, guys,
let's go.

- Keep your eye on the ball.
- [ Wok ]
Strike him out!

- You're out!
- Nice!

Sucker.
Two out, guys!

Two out.

Okay, one more out
and the sandlot lives.

[ Boy ]
One more out!
Get 'em, E.J.

You're not number one
for nothing.

Like father, like son.
Out of my way, dork.

Hey, what's that I smell?
[ Sniffs ]

Come on, E.J.!
Oh, it's just Needman!

[ Boy ]
Don't strike out!

All right, Timber.
It's okay, Timber.

[ Wok ]
Come on, Timber.

Time!

- [ Crowd Groans ]
- [ Woman ]
Come on!

He's just scared, Timber.
Give him the heat.

Let's go, Timber!
Time's a-wasting.

Just throw it right in there.
Bring him the heat.
Show him some heat!

[ No Audible Dialogue ]

[ No Audible Dialogue ]

[ Screaming ]

Yeah!
That's my boy! Yeah!

- [ Man ]
Yeah!
- [ Cheering ]

Batter out!
What?

Look!
What are you talking about?
He caught the ball.

It touched no ground.
He's out!

- Yeah, guys!
- Tommy!

Nice catch, kid.

Geez!

We're, uh, not going to have
a situation here, are we, Earl?

'Cause, uh,
we don't want a situation.

Yeah, Sandlot!

Whoo!
Yeah, all right!

[ Grunts ]
You were right about
that Santorelli kid.

He's gonna be
an all-star.

What about that
deal with my son?
He's quite the athlete, huh?

I'm not looking for athletes.
I'm looking for ballplayers,
and I just found one.

[ Cheering ]
Guys! Guys! Guys!

It's been the best game
of my life.

Yeah.
Yeah. Obviously.

But I've got to go.
What? We just won
the big game.

At least stick around
for the fireworks
and the trophy ceremony.

[ All ] Yeah!
I'm sorry, guys.
I'm sorry.

I gotta go see my mom.

[ Squints ]
Hey, guys.

I think Benny's got
something to say to you.
Oh, yeah.

Uh, I think there's
something over there
that belongs to you guys!

[ All ]
Yeah!

Wow! We did it!

The sandlot's been saved!

You always knew
how to make me proud.

[ Labored Breathing ]

[ Tap On Glass ]
[ Ryan ]
Tommy.

- Tommy, you forgot this.
- What are you doing here?

You're going to miss
the trophy ceremony
and the fireworks!

[ Fireworks Exploding ]
Who cares?
This belongs to you.

- I think he's
waking up, Doctor.
- [ Man ] Welcome back.

What happened?
Where am I?

You're at Cedars-Sinai,
Tommy.

When I, uh, heard you took
a pitch to the head in practice,

I raced over here
to check in on you.

Q?
No one's called me that
in years.

Oh, I had--
I had the strangest dream.

- Hey, he's awake, everyone.
- Well, who's here?

Are you kidding?
More like who isn't.

- Hey, there's my boy!
- Benny, what are you
doing here?

- What? A manager can't visit
his favorite player?
- His favorite what?

Yeah, you know, the guys have
been here almost every day.
You know, just checking in.

- They were really worried
about their captain.
- Captain?

- How could you scare me
like that, you silly man.
- Judy?

I'm glad to see
you recognize your own wife.

I-- I missed you so much.
I'm sorry that I ever left you.

What are you talking about?
When I went to New York
to play for the Yankees.

[ Benny ]
Hey, pal. You never
played for the Yankees.

You've been a Dodger
your whole career.

Hey, he may be a little groggy,
but don't worry, Judy.
He'll be fine.

Remember, honey? You chose
to stay with me in L.A.

I did?
Yeah. Yeah, you did.

Heather. Oliver.
Daddy's awake.

We-We have ki--
Daddy!
Daddy, you're awake!

Oh, we have kids.

Hey. Hey, boy.
Daddy, I was so
worried about you.

Looks like this old ball
still has some luck
in her yet, huh, buddy?

Ryan?

Do you realize how many calls
we get every day asking
about you?

- Calls?
- Yeah. On my sports radio show.

Hey, some of the guys
want to come in and say hi.

[ Thinking: Boys' Voices ]
All right, Tommy!

It's just like you said, Mom.
Good things to good people.

[ Crowd Cheering ]

Tommy Santorelli--
14-time all-star,

three-time
World Series champion,
M.V.P. of two of them.

But, uh, that's not the only
reason he's going straight
to Cooperstown.

Tommy could be the most loved
player, teammate and leader
the game's ever seen.

Having played his entire
career for the Dodgers,

Tommy turned down big money
offers from other teams
over the years.

But the thing he treasures
most to this day
is saving the sandlot.

[ Tommy ]
Forever.
