Interesting Questions, Facts, and Information
Sandlot, The
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.
2 weeks. "I moved to the neighborhood about 2 weeks before school let out."
Yeah-yeah. "What are you laughing at, Yeah-yeah? You run like a duck."
Bill. Bill is played by Denis Leary.
His glove was busted. Smalls did have a black eye, but he told Benny that he wouldn't go because his glove was busted.
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!)
s'mores. Smalls mistakenly thinks that Ham is offering him "some more" of nothing.
While Squints is telling the story about the Beast at the tree house camp out, what object is Timmy holding? | "The Sandlot" Movie Trivia
|
a bowling pin. I wonder where he got it from.
America, the Beautiful. Ray Charles sings this.
Vincent. Smalls later tells us that Squints and Wendy bought this drug store after they got married.
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."
5. Benny finally jumps over the fence and gets the ball for the sixth and only successful attempt.
Phillips. After hearing this, Phillips challenges the boys to a game. They accept and win.
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."
The Dodgers. The older Benny is played by Mike Vitar's (young Benny) older brother (Pablo Vitar).
Smalls. The narrator's name was Smalls. He was funny in the beginning especially with his big hat, which he wore at the end of the movie too. By the way, his full name in the movie was Scotty Smalls.
What was the nickname of the kid who had big black glasses? | The Sandlot
|
Squints . He was so funny, always cleaning his glasses.
What was the name of the big dog that lived next to the sandlot? | The Sandlot
|
Hercules. In case you put The Beast, I said name, hint hint. It was pretty simple though. I thought he was so cute! You know, except for the whole slobber and drooling thing. But he was adorable, don't you think?
Who had to explain to Smalls what a s'more was? | The Sandlot
|
Ham . It was really funny. Smalls walks in. Ham: "Hey, you want a s'more?" Smalls: "Some more of what?" Ham: "No, no you want a s'more?" Smalls: "I haven't had anything so how can I have some more of nothing?" Ham: "You're killing me Smalls!"
Babe Ruth. Yeah it was Babe Ruth. Benny Rodriguez was Benny, and Ham was the red-head. He grew up to be the Great Hambino, the wrestler. Smalls' step-father had a baseball autographed by "The Babe" but since Smalls didn't know who he even was, it got him into a lot of trouble. That comes later though.
In the beginning of the movie, two baseball teams were written on a scorecard. What were the names of the teams? | The Sandlot
|
Giants and Dodgers. The baseball game was Giants vs. Dodgers. Smalls, now a newscaster, was keeping score and talking about the game, while Benny was playing on the Dodgers. He became known as Benny "The Jet" Rodriguez.
When Benny introduces Smalls to the other guys on the baseball team, what billboard was behind them? | The Sandlot
|
When Smalls met the other guys, they all spit. Who spit twice? | The Sandlot
|
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.
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!"
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 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.
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 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.
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.
