I always imagined that Benny The Jet ended up becoming a utility player/pinch runner. Is there anything in the movie that suggests otherwise? Or am I just guessing? He seemed like a cool dude.

I think that’s a fun and accurate read for sure. 😀 He is The Jet after all!

I would be fully onboard a legacy sequel about Smalls’ career as an announcer and his professional friendship with The Jet. It could be like Brian’s Song, but without the death.

Yesss. Stop the remakes give us some these guys older. I’ll be happy.

In fairness, I never saw The Sandlot 2 or 3. Maybe they’re secret masterpieces!

HBO Max or Netflix mini-series. I want to see Kenny Denunez in Triple-A ball. You could almost do the entire thing about him, but you could give each character a 2-3 episode arc that ends with them meeting up at Benny’s retirement ceremony.
