The Sandlot (1993)

[gspieler]

Sandlot was the goat of kids baseball movies. My last name sounds like smalls and I played baseball so my friends always said that to me and still to this day some of my old baseball buddies still call me Smalls.

Mighty Duck movies were great back in the day, probably because I played hockey, but a bit later I saw one of them and it was terrible. Knuckle puck!

Mighty Ducks movies went out of their way to be campy. Especially as the series progressed. But it was exactly the sort of campiness tve target demographic(eg me) eats up. I think Sandlot is the better movie when all is said and done, but MD will always be the GOAT kids sports movie to me.

also, that dude was awesome in this and as Luis Mendoza or whatever the fast skater that couldn't stop in D2 Mighty Ducks then i think he gave it up or something

Seems he is a firefighter now. Also got himself in a bit of legal trouble a few years ago:

Sandlot and Heavyweights are goat. But I would check out Little Giants before Holes, if u haven’t seen it. It’s next on that list.

great fucking call on little giants! Idk how many times I watched that and heavyweights as a kid. Netflix used to have both on there a couple yrs ago.
