“Legends never die” rings true for many things in San Jose—In ‘n’ Out animal fries, a Saturday at the Flea Market or a ride on the Grizzly. Yet, the phrase rings most true of all for 1993 cult classic “The Sandlot.” Set in 1962, the rough-around-the-edges family comedy depicts a group of…]]>

“Legends never die” rings true for many things in San Jose—In ‘n’ Out animal fries, a Saturday at the Flea Market or a ride on the Grizzly. Yet, the phrase rings most true of all for 1993 cult classic “The Sandlot.” Set in 1962, the rough-around-the-edges family comedy depicts a group of young baseball players on summer break and all that comes with it: from the dugout, to the pool, to encounters with the Beast. Hosted by the Santa Clara P&R Department, it’s a great event for a ragtag crew and sure to be a home run of an evening out.

Engage in some seriously meta nostalgia with The Sandlot—a coming of age tale, set in small town America in 1962, about a bunch of kids playing baseball on a weed-choked neighborhood sandlot. Thirty-somethings may wince when they realize that this film was first released 25 years ago. Then again, many at the upper end of the millennial curve have little ones of their own. Bring them down to Courthouse Square and clue them in to all the film’s classic one-liners—while taking time to acknowledge that not everything ages well and that it’s perfectly fine to play ball like a girl.
