This 1993 movie, directed by David Mickey Evans, follows the story of a group of boys who bonded over their love for baseball. The movie takes us back to childhood, when making good friends was easier and those friendships were devoid of malice and ulterior motives. The Sandlot does trigger childhood memories of playing with friends during carefree summer vacations.
