I just saw the fat kid from The Sandlot!

By Doug on April 17th, 2007

There I was walking to my local supermarket when I noticed out of the corner of my eye, there was none other than the legendary Patrick Renna. prenna Who is Patrick Renna? You may know him as the fat kid from a little cinematic masterpiece known as The Sandlot. In fact, his image has become so tied to the film that if you google the fat kid from the sandlot I assume it will bring up a picture of him.

“Yeah, he lost weight,” my friend Alex told me. “Probably from working on Sandlot 3,” he said with a laugh. Tonight, I learned that there was in fact a third Sandlot. Wait, that must mean that there was more than likely a Sandlot 2 as well!

Did anyone know about this? I did a quick imdb and sure enough there are in fact two more Sandlots in existence (#3 is still in production). I honestly had no idea.

Luckily, Renna has no involvement with the two sequels. Thank goodness for him. I didn’t look into it too much, but one user comment described the second one as “just awful…destroyed the original” and the third one involves time travel.

Yes, that’s right. Time travel.

If I could time travel, I would do some things different. Things like burning the toast this morning or stubbing my toe last night. Things that would make a difference.

Time travel.
…
I… I just can’t say anything. TIme travel. The hell?? Uhm, why bother going back to change time anyway? You’d always destroy yourself in the process… altering your memories and whatnot.

But that’s not the point.
THE POINT IS… TIME TRAVEL.

What I want to know is what the kids from the Sandlot have any business doing in the past/future. What problems could they possibly have that merited time travel of a group of pre-pubescent boys? More importantly, what problem did they have that Benny couldn’t solve? Does The Beast make a cameo? How is James Earl Jones going to offer any insight to time travel? I think I just wrote the storyline.

Lets also keep in mind that this director also made Angels in the Outfield…
