109 The Sandlot Trivia Questions & Answers

Answer: Wendy Peffercorn

The Sandlot kids go to the pool and stare at the lifeguard, Wendy Peffercorn, as she puts on lotion. Squints says that he can't take it anymore and jumps off the diving board, even though he can't swim. Wendy jumps in after him and gives him mouth-to-mouth. While doing this Squints comes to and kisses Wendy. She screams and calls him a little pervert then kicks them out of the pool. Later on we learn that the two get married and have nine kids.

Answer: Tom Guiry

Guiry, born on October 12th, 1981 in Trenton, New Jersey, was cast as Scotty Smalls. Scotty, who was known by his baseball teammates as "Smalls", moved to the neighborhood and was encouraged to make friends that summer. Smalls went to the sandlot one day to play baseball with a bunch of neighborhood kids. In his first scene at the sandlot, a ball was hit towards him and Smalls fell down when he attempted to catch it and this caused many of the kids to laugh at him. The following day, Benny helped Smalls out and Smalls was able to catch the baseball. From that point onward, Smalls' baseball playing improved and he and Benny became closer in the process. At the end of the movie, Smalls asked Benny to help him with Hercules, a dog who was injured by a falling fence. Guiry starred in the films "Mystic River", "Black Hawk Down" and "Tigerland".

Answer: Werewolf

This occurs during the scene where Benny is being chased by the Beast through the town. One of the places Benny runs to try and escape the Beast is a movie theater. It shows the audience in the theater sitting and watching the movie. Suddenly, Benny slides under the screen and runs up the aisle. The Beast then tears through the screen and chases Benny through the theater.

The movie that is playing in the theater is an old black and white movie and the two characters in the movie are discussing a werewolf and how to kill it. When the Beast tears through the screen, the actor in the movie is transforming into a werewolf.

Answer: Hercules

The Beast, as the boys refer to him, is actually a huge dog that lives in the yard of a home that borders the sandlot field where they play baseball. The Beast is infamous for his ferocity.

The interesting thing is that Benny refers to Babe Ruth as the "Hercules of Baseball" because he was so great at the sport. The irony is that the dog is also named Hercules.

You first learn the name of the dog when the boys return him home to his owner after they save him from under the fence near the end of the movie. His owner mentions his name twice in that scene. Then, the dog becomes sort of a mascot for the team and at the end of the movie, you see him sitting on the sidelines while the boys play and he is wearing a T-shirt with "Hercules" painted on it.

Answer: Smalls

His nickname was Smalls. He was the new kid in town who knew nothing about baseball but wanted to make friends. That summer he learned how to play.

Answer: California

They never mention living in California in the movie, but if you look at the license plates when Scotty meets the boys at Vincent's Drug Store, they say California on them. In the end of the movie, Benny plays for the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Answer: Smalls

Smalls moved into the neighborhood and became the ninth boy on the baseball team.

Answer: Play with his Erector Set

His mom walks into his room one night and is promptly hit in the forehead by a ball bearing shot out of one of Scotty's Erector contraptions.

Answer: 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.

Answer: 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.

Answer: Babe Ruth

One night Benny has a dream where he talks to Babe Ruth. Just before the dream ends Babe Ruth tells Benny that "heroes get remembered, but legends never die". So the next morning everyone gets together to watch Benny jump over the fence. Just before he does Babe Ruth's voice echoes in the background and we hear him say the line again.

Answer: "You play ball like a girl!"

One day, when the sandlot boys are paying, a bunch of other boys show up on their bicycles in official-looking baseball uniforms. It is clear the two groups do not like each other. The leader of the other team gets into a verbal fight with Ham, one of the sandlot boys. They exchange insults back and forth while they are cheered on by their friends. Finally, Ham makes that final comment and both groups go silent. The insult fight leads to the other team challenging the sandlot boys to a game on their nice field which the sandlot boys accept.

The three incorrect choices are references to other lines in the movie. "You throw like my sister" is a loose reference to a line spoken earlier by Yeah-Yeah, one of the other sandlot boys, when he is trying to convince Benny to not let Smalls play with them. "Bobbing for apples in the toilet" is another insult used in the same argument between Ham and the other kid; the other kid uses it against Ham. "You don't even know who the Great Bambino is!" is a reference to one discussion at the beginning and another towards the end of the movie about how Smalls does not know who the Great Bambino is. The Great Bambino is, of course, Babe Ruth.

Answer: He pretended to drown.

He pretended to drown so that he could get the attention of the lifeguard, Wendy. She dove in to save him and when she gave him mouth to mouth, he kissed her. They were kicked out of the pool for the rest of the summer, but it was worth it to Squints.

Answer: Benny

If you look at Benny while the boys are running to the deep end of the pool, you can see that he is wearing jeans.

Answer: Wendy Peffercorn

Wendy, the object of Squints' affection, was the lifeguard at the swimming pool. Eventually, her allure became too much for him, and then he did "The most desperate thing any of us had ever seen."

Answer: Squints

He was so funny, always cleaning his glasses.

Answer: 2 weeks

"I moved to the neighborhood about 2 weeks before school let out."

Answer: Ham

The Sandlot kids are playing baseball against kids from a little league team. Ham is the catcher and he distracts the batter by saying something just before the ball comes. So he says "If I had a dog as ugly as you. I'd shave his butt and tell him to walk backwards." He also says "Hey is that your sister out there in left field naked?" As well as a few other things.

Answer: Hamilton Porter

Hamilton "Ham" Porter exclusively plays catcher for the team. He has reddish hair and is slightly more portly than the rest of the boys. He also has a unique and sarcastic sense of humor and serves as the comic relief for much of the movie.

You hear his full name when Smalls first meets the whole group. You hear his last name again when the player from the other team is talking to him, "We play on a real diamond, Porter! You ain't good enough to lick the dirt off our cleats!"

Answer: They chewed tobacco.

They decided that they wanted to be like the big leaguers and chewed tobacco. By the end of the night, they were all sick.

Answer: Smalls

Smalls is Scotty's last name. Almost all of the boys have nicknames. The only one with a nickname that isn't part of his real name is Yeah-Yeah.

Answer: Forever

When Smalls is narrating, he says: "We got banned from the pool forever that day."

Answer: Chicago

After Bill left, Scotty was able to go into his trophy room and take the baseball with "Babe Ruth's" autograph on it.

Answer: 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?

Answer: Yeah-yeah

"What are you laughing at, Yeah-yeah? You run like a duck."
