Moving to a new city or state can be hard. You are moving to a place you are not familiar with, you do not know anyone and nobody knows you which could be hard to make new friends. This is a lot like the movie the Sandlot. A young kid named Scotty “Smalls” is forced to move to a new place far from his old home. He tries to make new friends but it does not work out so well for him at first. This highly recommended movie shows the hero’s journey of a kid trying to make some friends but gets into some trouble while at it.
The movie starts with Scotty, his mom and step-father named Bill moving to a new city. Scotty is thousands of miles away from home and is the new kid in the neighborhood. Scotty has never played any kind of sport before …show more content…
Hamilton “Ham” Porter, the catcher for the team comes up to bat and blasts their last baseball over the left field fence where the Beast collects all of their baseballs. Everyone on the team is mad at him because they can’t afford a new baseball. The approach occurs when Scotty remembers his step dad having a baseball in his trophy room so he runs home to grab it. Scotty didn’t know who Babe Ruth was like the other kids did and the ball ended up being signed by “The Great Bambino” himself. He ran back to the field so they could play again and they let him bat since it was his ball. This is where the crisis occurs. On the first pitch Scotty hit his first home run into the Beast’s territory. Everyone is happy for him but he is freaking out because that’s his dad’s baseball. He then tells the rest of them that the ball was signed by Babe Ruth, who Scotty didn’t know it was. They all freaked out and started to come up with strategies to get the ball back. These strategies to get the ball back varied to using a long piece of wood to push the ball back on their side of the fence, to building a long vacuum tube to suck the ball back up into their tree house. After all of their strategies failed, Benny decides to jump over the fence and get the treasured ball. The Beast also jumps the fence and chases him all over town. When he returns back with the ball, the tall fence falls on the Beast and can’t get free from the fence. Scotty and the rest of the team help get the fence off of the Beast and as thanks shows the boys all of the baseballs he has collected. After all of the ruckus is heard, Mr. Mertle, the owner of the Beast comes out to see what happened and then invites Scotty and Benny inside to discuss what had happened with the Babe Ruth ball. Mr. Mertle ended up giving them a team signed 1947 Yankees ball in return for all of the trouble if they agree to come back at least
