The Sandlot

You know those movies you watch when your little and continue to watch as you grow older and older? The ones with the great one-liners and awsome plot? The ones that will make you smile just by the sight of seeing it? Well that is what "The Sandlot" is to me. Honest to god, it is one of the best films...ever! I first saw it a LONG time ago, back when Power Rangers were in it's first season, back when there were no Reboot and Pokemon, back when Pogs were the bomb. I didn't even like baseball back then but loved the movie.

Cut to a few years later...

I'm with my mom at Target, looking at the video section. While looking, I saw a copy of 'The Sandlot" being sold. Now, I was not carrying any money at the moment so I asked my mom if she could get it for me. She too liked the movie and gladly purchased it. Right when I got home, I popped it into my VHS players and started watching it. Oh the joy I felt after watching that movie once again.

Like I said before, they're a buttload of great one-liners in that movie. I believe anyone who has seen that movie can recite at least two or three right there.

"Remember kid, there's heroes and there's legends. Heroes get remembered but legends never die, follow your heart kid, and you'll never go wrong"
"Oh man your in deep shit"
"You play ball like a girl!"
"Is that your sister out there in left field, naked? She's naked?"
"You know, if my dog was as ugly as you. I'd shave his butt and tell him to walk backwards."
"You mix your Wheaties with your mama's toe jam!"
"Oh yeah, the Great Bambino. Of course! I thought you said the Great Bambi."
"Yeah yeah, he looks pretty crappy."
" I don't know. Some lady gave it to him. She even signed her name on it... Ruth. Baby Ruth."
"For-ev-ver! For-ev-ver! For-ev-ver! For-ev-ver! "
"This is smores stuff. First you take the graham. You stick the chocolate on the graham. Then, you roast the mallow. When the mallows flaming, you stick it on the chocolate and cover it with the other end. Then, you scarf."
"No, I got a B once. Well, actually it was an A minus but it should have been a B. "

I could really go on for a while...

I live by that movie, and since I can barely read this computer screen, I don't think I'll be about to stay up to watch it tonight.
Gosh I have be swimming/tanning since 9 this morning. I went jogging, 2.5 miles. I'm not going to lie...I feel like death.
But come Friday I'm watching Sandlot, and cheerishing my childhood memories.
