It’s been 25 years since “The Sandlot” was released, and the cast reunited on “The Today Show” to talk about the glory days and how things have been for them since the cult film hit theaters.
Smalls, Ham, Squints, DeNunez, Yeah-Yeah, Timmy, Bertram and Repeat all ventured back onto a baseball field on Thursday.
“It’s been crazy,” Marty York, who played Alan “Yeah-Yeah” McClennan, said. “I mean, it definitely gets you in places for free. I can’t walk through a Las Vegas casino without someone yelling ‘Yeah-Yeah!’”
According to David Mickey Evans, who wrote, directed and narrated the film, shooting the film was “the greatest summer of our lives.”
Patrick Renna, who played Ham, said he showed the film to his son for the first time, but “he’s really big on ‘Moana,’” unfortunately. Chauncey Leopardi, who played Squints, confessed that his daughter “thinks I’m just kind of a dork.”
After reminiscing about the good old days, the team took the field again, and NBC correspondent Gadi Schwartz stepped up since they were down one player.
