The cast and director of "The Sandlot" reunited on the Utah baseball field where the movie was filmed last week.
The group is currently touring the country— making 21 stops — to promote the 20th anniversary edition of "The Sandlot." The classic, coming-of-age baseball movie premiered in 1993.
Director David Mickey Evans and stars Patrick Renna ("Ham"), Chauncey Leopardi ("Squints"), Shane Obedzinski (Tommy "Repeat" Timmons), Victor DiMattia (Timmy Timmons), Marty York ("Yeah-Yeah"), and Daniel Zacapa (Police Chief) attended.
Cast and crew tweeted about getting the team back together:
