The Sandlot

When I think of any movie in the world, The Sandlot (1993) comes to mind.  The Sandlot is a movie about a group of kids trying to get a baseball back from what they think is a viscous dog.   His mom just got a new husband and Scotty Smalls (the kid) has nobody to hang out with.  One day Bill (the stepfather) is going to teach him how to play catch... didn't turn out so well when Smalls caught the ball with his eye.  Smalls always had a love for the game and one day he was walking around town and saw a group of kids at a baseball diamond playing ball.  As he was watching he heard a growl behind a fence.  He didn't know that it was ...THE BEAST!
Scotty can't throw a baseball or catch a baseball because nobody taught him. All the kids made fun of him because he wasn't good at baseball but there was one kid...Benny (The Jet) Rodriquez, that was determined to teach Smalls about the game of baseball.
One day smalls grabs his dad's signed base ball by Babe Ruth (one of the best baseball players since..... ever).  Long story short, the ball gets hit over the big green fence in the outfield and is taken over by the Beast behind it.  The group of friends try whatever it takes to get the ball back until one day Benny "The Jet" Rodriquez jumps the fence and is in one of the biggest pickles of his life.
