'The Sandlot' Cast: Where Are They Now?

The Sandlot has achieved cult classic status in the years since its 1993 release. The film, directed by David Mickey Evans, follows new kid Scotty Smalls (Tom Guiry) as he befriends a group of baseball-loving kids and learns the ins and outs of the game — in addition to going head-to-head with a menacing junkyard dog named “The Beast.” The cast of The Sandlot, which spawned two direct-to-video sequels in 2005 and 2007, have reunited several times over the years and celebrated the film’s 25th anniversary on Today in April 2018. "It's been crazy. I mean, it definitely gets you in places for free," Marty York said of being recognized as his character Alan “Yeah-Yeah” McClennan. "I can't walk through a Las Vegas casino without someone shouting, 'Yeah-Yeah!'" Years later, York, Guiry and cast members Victor DiMattia, Shane Obedzinski and Grant Gelt played softball at a two-day Florida charity event in December 2023, complete with movie screenings and meet-and-greets in honor of The Sandlot’s 30th anniversary.
