 Interesting Questions, Facts, and Information
 Sandlot, The
| For which pro-baseball team does Benny "the Jet" Rodriguez play at the end of the movie? | The Sandlot
|
The Dodgers. The older Benny is played by Mike Vitar's (young Benny) older brother (Pablo Vitar).
He went blind. "Baseball was life...and I was good at it. Real good. Then one day, a high fast one, and POW...lights went out."
| To which boy does Ham say this quote: "You play ball like a girl!"? | The Sandlot
|
Phillips. After hearing this, Phillips challenges the boys to a game. They accept and win.
| How many UNSUCCESSFUL attempts do the boys make before finally getting Smalls's ball back? | The Sandlot
|
5. Benny finally jumps over the fence and gets the ball for the sixth and only successful attempt.
Hercules. This is weird because Benny had called Babe Ruth "the Hercules of baseball", since he was "less than a god, but more than a man."
| What is the name of the drug store from which the boys buy their baseballs? | The Sandlot
|
Vincent. Smalls later tells us that Squints and Wendy bought this drug store after they got married.
| What song plays in the background of the boys' annual night game? | The Sandlot
|
America, the Beautiful. Ray Charles sings this.
| While Squints is telling the story about the Beast at the tree house camp out, what object is Timmy holding? | The Sandlot
|
a baseball bat. What else?
s'mores. Smalls mistakenly thinks that Ham is offering him "some more" of nothing.
| What letter(s) is/are on Kenny's (the pitcher's) baseball cap? | The Sandlot
|
KC. "The 'KC' on Kenny's hat represented the Kansas City Monarchs of the Negro League. It is my guess that, the Negro League was defunct by 1962, that the hat had belonged to Kenny's father." (Thanks to robmeister for this info!)
| When Benny first invites Smalls to play baseball with him, what excuse does Smalls give him? | The Sandlot
|
His glove was busted. Smalls did have a black eye, but he told Benny that he wouldn't go because his glove was busted.
Bill. Bill is played by Denis Leary.
Yeah-yeah. "What are you laughing at, Yeah-yeah? You run like a duck."
| About how long before school let out did Smalls move into the neighborhood? | The Sandlot
|
2 weeks. "I moved to the neighborhood about 2 weeks before school let out."
| In what year does this movie take place (when Smalls is young)? | The Sandlot
|
1962. It is on the Founder's Day cake. Also, at the beginning, Smalls talks about the "all-time greatest moment in the history of sports" in 1932 when Babe Ruth became a legend. He says that 30 years later Benny became a neighborhood legend.
Smalls. "Smalls was the last one to move away. Benny went on to play for the Dodgers. Smalls became a sports newscaster for baseball. Yeah-yeah went to military school and was a pioneer of bungee-jumping. Ham became a wrestler (The Great Hambino). Squints married Wendy and they had 9 kids. Tommy and Timmy created mini-malls and the became multi-millionaires. Kenny went on to play Triple-A Baseball. Bertram got really into the 60's and no one heard from him again. Hercules (The Beast) lived to be 199 years old, in dog years". A quote just to end it all, from The Great Bambino (The Sultan of Swat, The King of Crash, The Colossus of Clout!): "Hero's get remembered, but legends never die. Follow your heart kid, and you'll never go wrong."
| After the group tried to get the baseball back using the vacuums, who blamed himself when it didn't work? | The Sandlot
|
Timmy. They had just tried getting the ball back using some vacuums when the vacuums exploded. Timmy was still in the clubhouse when they exploded and he got full of dust. When he came down and shook off the dust he said, "We've been going about this all wrong. I blame myself." Then he said that they need to surprise The Beast which is where Yeah-yeah comes in. They used him as an aerial attack. They didn't succeed.
| When the opposing baseball team came to the sandlot, they all started insulting each other. What was the biggest insult? | The Sandlot
|
You play ball like a girl.. When Ham told Phillips (the kid from the Tigers) that he plays ball like a girl, everyone gasped, got quiet, and then they all started to laugh.
| What's the name of the team that challenged the kids? | The Sandlot
|
Tigers. It was the Tigers, not the Lions or Bears (oh my). And I just took the Beasts from the name that they gave the dog that lived next door. By the way, the Tigers were kids from a different neighborhood that was an actual organized team with nice uniforms and everything. Basically, the two teams hated each other.
| What night of the year do they get to have their one and only night game? | The Sandlot
|
4th of July. The 4th of July is when there are a lot of fireworks and it provided them with enough light to play at night.
Pitcher. He was the pitcher for every game. He was cool, I liked him. Plus he was funny. In the beginning he didn't think Smalls should be on their team either. Once he saw that Smalls could play he said that he knew it all the time.
| When Squints almost drowned in the pool, what did Bertram say he looked like? | The Sandlot
|
a dead fish. It was funny. Squints looked dead and Bertram just looked at him and said, "He looks like a dead fish." Squints did it so that he could kiss the lifeguard Wendy whom he liked. He ended up getting kicked out of the pool forever but in the end he married Wendy.
| According to the story that Squints told about The Beast, where did he used to live? | The Sandlot
|
Mertle's Acres. The Beast was raised in Mertle's Acres until he supposedly ate a person. Then he and his owner moved to the house that was right next door to the sandlot.
| What did Smalls have to do before going to the campout? | The Sandlot
|
wash the dishes. Smalls got to the campout late and said, "Sorry I'm late. My mom made me put on my jacket and then she made me do the dishes." They all laughed.
| On Smalls' list of things to remember for baseball, what was number 1? | The Sandlot
|
The Great Bambino. Bad Smalls, lying about knowing who the Great Bambino was. That's what basically got him into trouble.
| What position did Benny put Smalls at in the beginning of the movie? | The Sandlot
|
left-center. Benny told Smalls to go to left-center. Smalls got lost on the way there, and Benny had to tell him to move. Then Squints called Smalls a square.
| When first going to the sandlot all together, what did Squints say Smalls was? | The Sandlot
|
L7 weenie. Squints called him a L7 weenie, and Yeah-yeah agreed. I felt so bad, they weren't even giving him a chance. I think he called him that because in baseball terms, number 7 is left field which is where Benny sent Smalls. Squints just added the L and the weenie part in himself. Also if you make an L and a 7 with your fingers and put them together, you get a square which is what they had called Smalls anyway.
| What line follows the quote?: "Oh, oh! The Great Bambino! Oh, I thought you said the Great "Bambi"?" | The Sandlot
|
That wimpy deer!. I love this part. Smalls was the one who asked who the Great Bambino was and they (his friends) all started giving a whole bunch of nicknames getting Smalls even more confused. Then he just lied and pretended to know who he was. Ham was the one who said, "That wimpy deer!"
| Which player was always repeating what his brother said? | The Sandlot
|
Tommy. Tommy (the repeat) was always repeating what Timmy said. I guess it was a brother thing.
| When Smalls met the other guys, they all spit. Who spit twice? | The Sandlot
|
| When Benny introduces Smalls to the other guys on the baseball team, what billboard was behind them? | The Sandlot
