It's been over twenty years since the iconic summer pick-up baseball movie The Sandlot touched our young hearts and brought us a fantasy summer full of friends, fun, and oversized dogs. But maybe it actually escaped some people, like a young man who happened to run into Patrick Renna and Tom Guiry on the street.
The young man was wearing a "You're Killing Me, Smalls!" shirt which featured a picture of Renna's character from the film:
20th Century Fox
But when he was stopped on the street by the actors, it seemed like he had no idea who he was actually talking to.
And a generation gasped. HOW can you not get the reference?!
Or maybe he just didn't recognize Renna, even though he was wearing Renna on his shirt. 25 years probably has made a small difference.
Most of us agree this kid is an L7 Weenie:
Seriously. How can you not recognize a legend like the Great Hambino himself?
Maybe this kid needs spectacles:
But we ALL feel a certain phrase has NEVER been more appropriate than for this moment:
You're killin' me, smalls. You're killin' us all.
The cast of The Sandlot reunited back in April for this iconic photo:
And for an interview with the Hollywood Reporter:
So even though this one youth forgot the summer of 1962, The Sandlot will live on in all of our hearts for many years to come.
