In praise of "The Sandlot"

A collection of fabulous essays on the movie "Sandlot". It's so nuts, but I'm actually tearing up reading some of them!!

The one by Mike just KILLS me.

My kids, especially Alex (natch), LOVE The Sandlot. We have it on video, and how it has not broken is beyond me. The box doesn't have ends, it's almost completely torn in two, it is WELL. LOVED.

I, of course, have never seen it. :) But I know the soundtrack, since I've heard it a million times emanating from one room or the other.

The Sandlot is one of the most perfect movies about childhood, frienship, and baseball that was ever made. I was thrilled when my daughter fell in love with it and we've watched it together many times. There are a few quotable lines that occasionally find their way back into our family conversation that always bring a smile to my face. What a terrific movie!

All the essays in that tribute are great, but the one long essay about baseball and childhood and fathers ... it just kills me!
