The sandlot So I'm sitting here watching one of my favorite movies, The Sandlot. The memories of both my childhood and when my own were young are flooding back. If you've never seen this movie, it's about a group of boys who play baseball all summer. There is a house behind the ball park they play at with "the beast", a of legend who eats all who dare to climb the fence and challenge him. We had a park where the from my neighborhood created our own baseball diamond . Using a rock for 2nd base, there were trees convieniently placed at 1st and 3rd bases and instead of a house with an enormous eating dog, we had the phone companies chained in tower. Hit the ball in there you had an automatic home run! Spent a lot of fun times there, and just like the movie, we'd all meet there to play after school too! This movie was also a favorite of my oldest 's. We spent alot of time watching it. Over and over and over..haahaahaa but those were good times. He is 25, married and living in Hawaaii now. Be blessed, not stressed! |
