Few family movies have held onto their popularity quite like The Sandlot, the 1993 coming-of-age baseball classic that introduced audiences to a memorable group of neighborhood kids and their unforgettable summer adventures.
More than three decades later, the cast is still reminiscing about the film. During a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Patrick Renna, 37, and Dugout Dads costar Danielle Fishel, 45, revealed which Sandlot cast member fans would be the most surprised to see today.

MLB All-Star Game Final Score, Highlights: AL Blanks NL in First All-Star Game Shutout in 13 Years originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
gainst the backdrop of America’s 250th anniversary, the 96th Midsummer Classic at Citizens Bank Park became a definitive showcase of American League pitching depth. Behind a quick start and a dominant staff performance that limited the National League to just 3 hits, the AL secured a 4-0 victory on Tuesday night in the 2026 MLB All-Star Game.
The AL bats wasted no time, striking for 3 runs in the top of the first. With 2 outs and the bases loaded, New York Yankees outfielder Cody Bellinger ripped a 2-run single to center field, then his teammate Ben Rice followed with an RBI knock, burying the NL in an early 3-0 hole.
From there, the contest settled into a pitching duel, with both sides unable to produce anything on offense. While celebratory fireworks lit up the Philadelphia skyline throughout the night — including a tribute to “The Sandlot” and a “God Bless America” performance — there were none to be found on the diamond, with the teams putting together 13 scoreless frames.
In the top of the 8th, the AL added insurance in the later frames courtesy of Miguel Vargas. Entering as a pinch-runner after Junior Caminero left following a hit-by-pitch, the White Sox infielder launched a 433-foot solo home run to add insurance.

The long road to the major leagues − even for the participants in this year's All-Star Game − always seems to begin with a couple of friends, an open field and a game of catch.
The joy of learning the game as a kid was celebrated at this year's Midsummer Classic following the end of the fourth inning with a nod to the classic baseball movie, "The Sandlot."
As several All-Stars took the field, they were joined by a group of kids on bicycles to represent the special part baseball plays in American history.
With actor J.K. Simmons providing the narration and the late Ray Charles' version of "America the Beautiful" serving as the soundtrack, the stars and fans paused briefly to honor the National Pastime.
The celebration concluded with an Independence Day-worthy fireworks display in celebration of the nation's 250th birthday earlier in the month.

America's 250th birthday has passed, but MLB was intentional about putting this year's All-Star festivities in Philadelphia.
The same city that brought about the founding of the nation was a natural choice to serve as the host of the All-Star Game 250 years later, and MLB acknowledged the anniversary Tuesday night with a moving tribute after the fourth inning.
Here's a look at the tribute at Citizens Bank Park, which included fireworks and a nod to "The Sandlot."

Right-hander Alex Petrovic grew up in Cypress, Texas, a suburb of Houston, the son of parents who played basketball at Oberlin College. Alex's physical gifts manifested themselves on the baseball diamond rather than the basketball court, and the youngster quickly began standing out on the sandlots around Texas. He attended Concordia Lutheran High School in Tomball, Texas, where he dominated as both a hitter and a pitch, earning TAPPS First Team All-State honors in 2022 and 2023. Inflammation in his right arm kept him off of the mound for the majority of his senior year, and may have cost him a selection in the 2023 MLB Draft; despite solid results, Petrovic was not considered an elite talent, and he ended up going undrafted, leading him to honor his commitment to Auburn University.
His career with the Tigers began inauspiciously, as the inflammation in his arm returned that fall. It calmed down to the point that, when the spring began, the right-hander was able to take the mound for his new team after missing the first three weeks of the season. Appearing in 7 games for Auburn, Petrovic allowed 7 earned runs in 11.0 innings, good for a 5.73 ERA, giving up 15 hits, walking 3, and striking out 17. There is a chance that the right-hander might have improved as the weather continued warming, but Petrovic sustained a stress fracture in his right elbow in early April, ending his season prematurely.
The right-hander had surgery on his elbow, having screws inserted into it, and returned to the mound at Plainsman Park for the 2025 season. Improbably, the exact same thing almost happened a second year in a row. The right-hander appeared in 7 games, starting 5, and posted a 4.34 ERA in 18.2 innings, allowing 13 hits, walking 4, and striking out 25, but once again, an injury on a different spot on his arm sustained in early April ended his season early. His velocity had backed up from the low-90s into the high-80s and his breaking **** did not look as sharp, and it was only a matter of time before something in his arm went off. A draft-eligible sophomore because of his age, Petrovic did not hear his name called in the 2025 MLB Draft.
When his arm felt better later that summer, the right-hander went to a baseball training facility in Lakeland, Florida- the Florida Base ARMory- and worked on making subtle changing his mechanics to put less stress on his arm and elbow and hopefully prevent a third-consecutive season-ending injury in 2026.
The 22-year-old returned to Auburn for his redshirt sophomore season armed with new mechanics and not only was he able to make it through the entire year without an injury, but Petrovic also had a very solid season. His fastball having gained a few ticks from the mechanical changes that were made and his secondary stuff looking sharper, he appeared in 17 games, starting all of them, and posted a 3.21 ERA in 92.2 innings, allowing 70 hits, walking 24, and striking out 92.
