The Sandlot is truly a great movie and has made it to the top of many lists that include the best sports movies of all time, best coming of age films, best baseball movies, and more. To this day The Sandlot is one of the most memorable movies ever made.

One of the many reasons this movie is so great is because of the witty dialogue. Many lines from the movie have already gone down as some of the most memorable in film history. The Sandlot is littered with phrases such as these. Here are some of the most memorable quotes from The Sandlot.

Updated April 22nd, 2021 by Kristen Palamara: Even though The Sandlot premiered in 1993 it’s still a fan favorite coming-of-age comedy that anyone can enjoy and feel nostalgic about even if they didn’t grow up with the movie. The close-knit group of young friends bond overall baseball and get into trouble with their antics especially the dreaded dog next door. It’s a well-regarded childrens’ sports movie with hilarious dialogue and a lot of heart. The movie has become even more popular in recent years since the announcement of a reboot series on Disney+, and a nostalgic reunion video on YouTube.

20 “Man, This Is Baseball, You Gotta Stop Thinking.”

Benny’s clearly the best baseball player on the team and he looks at baseball differently than the rest of the characters as well. Benny only wants to play baseball throughout the entire movie even when his friends want to go to the pool when it’s too hot out.

Benny clearly enjoys playing baseball and he’s a natural at the game, but he still treats his friends who aren’t as good of players, especially Smalls, with respect and tries to help them out when he can like with this advice that does actually help Smalls.

19 “First You Take The Graham. You Stick The Chocolate On The Graham. Then, You Roast The Mallow. When The Mallows Flaming, You Stick It On The Chocolate And Cover It With The Other End. Then, You Scarf.”

One of the most iconic scenes in the movie is when Ham learns that Smalls doesn’t know what s’mores are. He’s shocked and upset with Smalls but is more than willing to help him learn how to make some s’mores and enlighten him.

Ham goes into a simple, yet hilariously detailed, description about how he puts together s’mores and how Smalls should put it together as well.

18 “Face It, I’m Just An Egghead.”

Smalls is completely different than his new group of friends when he moves to town, but it doesn’t matter to their leader Benny and it’s a nice change of pace for Smalls.

Although Smalls still feels left out and thinks he’s an egghead, Benny’s supportive and keeps telling him that everything will be fine and he’ll fit in eventually. Thankfully, Smalls stays with the group and forms a lifelong bond with his friends during their formative years.

17 “It Is The Law Of The Sandlot. Anything That Goes Over That Fence…Becomes Property Of The Beast!”

The kids refer to the Beast throughout the entire movie and the audience catches horrifying moments of the monster-like dog that are sure to scare kids watching.

Ya-ya begins this quote and Squints finishes the memorable line as they warn Smalls about the Beast that lives next to where they play baseball and tell him that anything that goes over that fence, like baseballs, will be eaten by the Beast.

16 “When One Guy Would Move Away, We Never Replaced Him On The Team With Anyone Else. We Just Kept The Game Going Like He Was Still There.”

This is an incredibly sweet and memorable line about how close the group became throughout the summer they played baseball together during the movie. It’s delivered through a grown-up Smalls’ voice-over as he recounts his formative years to the audience.

The movie shows each member of the team disappearing from the field as they moved away for whatever reason as Smalls explains that they never replaced anyone since that summer together with the Beast was so special.

15 “Hurry Up, Benny, My Clothes Are Goin’ Out Of Style!”

Squints is one of the wittier and more humorous kids amongst this rag-tag band of youth ballplayers. Quotes like this one help reinforce these charming and amusing traits.

Still, there appears to be more to this seemingly basic line flung at Benny by an impatient Squints while playing ball. Being that The Sandlot is something of a “period” film (taking place in the early ’60s,) it’s likely to be a subtle nod to the audience or fourth wall-style gag. After all, even to viewers in ’93 – the release year of the film – Squints’ clothes have in fact gone out of style! This is certainly a detailed film, which is no doubt part of its appeal.

14 “You Bob Apples In The Toilet – And You Like It!”

The back-and-forth insults flung between the protagonists and a rival youth squad are some of the most hilarious in the entire film. It’s the reason this heated scene shines as one of the most memorable and iconic bouts in the movie. Amidst classics like “you eat dog crap for breakfast, geek,” this underrated insult fits right in.

Between the funny payoff, the goofy imagery this colorful line invokes, and the serious delivery – this one just has that extra comedic oomph.

13 “How Can I Have More Of Nothing?”

Again, this wholesome line spoken by the main protagonist, Scotty Smalls, has a bit more to it than meets the eye (or in this case, the ear). Hamilton asks Smalls if he’d like a s’more, to which Smalls asks what that is. This prompts a drawn-out description as to what this delicious sweet entails. On the one hand, Smalls’ obliviousness makes for a funny scenario for the zany Porter to play off of.

But in addition, this line is meant to convey Smalls’ isolated origins and general naivety; a character trait that definitely comes into play later in the film.

12 “Everybody Gets One chance To Do Something Great. Most People Never Take The Chance…”

One area in which The Sandlot shines, besides just its wacky humor, is its endearing and even profound nature at times. One case of this more emotional side occurs in the final act when Benny is seeking answers as to how to nab a ball from the yard of a dangerous dog.

In a dream, the spirit of Babe Ruth speaks to him, giving him words of both wisdom and encouragement. He explains that while most have a chance to be great, most never take it, either from fear or just failing to recognize it. This is an endearing and powerful line – and it’s exactly what Benny needs to hear.

11 “For-ev-ver!”

You know you’re dealing with a pretty big quote when it essentially reaches meme-level status. Such is the case with this utterance from the always-amusing Squints. Following his unsettling tale – set to grainy black-and-white – explaining the backstory of Mr. Mertle and “The Beast,” he closes it out by saying the beast was to be chained up “FOR-EV-VER.”

There are many elements that make this hilarious, from the overexaggerated mouthing of the man in the reenactment to the over-the-top drama and, finally, Squints’ repeated usage of the overdramatized word.

10 “This Kid Is An L-7 Weenie.”

Maybe one of the most memorable insults from the entire film, Squints calls Smalls an “L-7 weenie.” What’s great about this insult is it has multiple layers.

One on hand, Squits is calling Smalls a weenie, or coward. Specifically saying L-7 also means he’s square, which couldn’t be closer to the truth. Squints may have been right about Smalls in the beginning, but he eventually grew to become a valuable member of the team and a great friend to the other kids.

9 “If My Dog Was As Ugly As You, I’d Shave Its Butt And Make It Walk Backwards.”

Hamilton “Ham” Porter perhaps has more memorable lines than any other character in the movie. From his clever insults to his brash exclamations, this overweight motormouth is almost never left speechless.

When a rival Little League team visits the sandlot to challenge the boys, things get much more serious. That is, for everyone except Ham. Ham uses his unique position as the catcher to talk smack to all of the opposing players. Each insult is as good as, or better than the last, and this one was definitely one of the best he came up with.

8 “Just Stand Out There And Stick Your Glove Out In The Air. I’ll Take Care Of It.”

Benny did his best to take care of Smalls and make him feel like a member of the team. When Smalls first decided to join the crew he didn’t know anything about baseball. With no one else willing to help him out, it was up to Benny to teach Smalls how to play.

When Smalls first had to catch a ball he had no idea what he was doing. Confident in his skills and hoping to reassure the newcomer, Benny said, “Just stand out there and stick your glove out in the air. I’ll take care of it.”

7 “Think She’d Go Out With Me?”

There’s already one great Ham insult on this list, but who says there can’t be another? When the Little League team’s best player was up to bat, Ham had quite a lot to say. He started with a joke about the player’s sister being naked in the outfield.

Then, after apologizing for the joke, Ham hits him with another. “Do you think she’d go out with me?” This comes at a time when the audience thinks Ham is done joking, and the surprise helps make this joke by far one of the most memorable.

6 “George Signed This?”

Initially very scared to meet the owner of The Beast, the kids are gladly surprised when it turns out he’s a nice old man. Played by James Earl Jones, Mr. Mertle helped Smalls fix his horrible, horrible mistake.

It turns out that Mr. Mertle had actually played with Babe Ruth before he went blind. After hearing Smalls’ story, the old man kindly gives him a new autographed ball, signed by all of the 1972 New York Yankees.

5 “Maybe The Shock Of His First Homer Was Just Too Much For Him.”

Smalls knew that that baseball was important to his step-father, but he stole it anyway. The gang had lost their last ball, and it was game over unless they found another one.

After Smalls hits his first home run, the boys expected him to be ecstatic. Instead, he was horrified. Knowing that his step-father would be extremely angry, Smalls began to break down. All those events lead to quite a hilarious, ironic quote.

4 “Some Lady Named Ruth. Baby Ruth.”

When the other boys learned that the ball had been signed they asked whose signature it was. Smalls, being completely ignorant of baseball history replied, “Some lady named Ruth. Baby Ruth.”

Not only is smalls ignorance hilarious, but the other kids’ responses to his ignorance are equally funny. This line could not have been written any better. It adds a serious level of humor to what turns out to be the biggest overt conflict of the movie.

3 “He Had Kissed A Woman, And He Had Kissed Her Long And Good.”

Wendy Peffercorn was by far the most beautiful lifeguard the sandlot kids had ever seen. Squints seemed to be totally in love with Wendy and was willing to go to great lengths in order to prove this to be true.

During one hot summer day at the pool, Squints pretended to be drowning. This prompts Wendy to jump in and “save” his life, eventually giving Squints mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Squints grabbed the much older Wendy with both hands and kissed her as hard as he can. All of this is hilariously summed up by the older Smalls who serves as the film’s narrator.

2 “Legends Never Die.”

In one of the most memorable scenes in the movie, Art Lefleur plays the legendary Babe Ruth in one of Benny’s dreams. After the ball, signed by Ruth, had been hit over the fence, the other boys were convinced it was a goner. But not Benny.

The spirit of Babe Ruth spoke to Benny in a dream. He convinced Benny to retrieve the ball himself, saying that this could be the moment that makes him a legend. Lefleur’s performance as Ruth is so inspiring and powerful that it’s sure to induce chills every time he says this one famous line.

1 “You’re Killing Me, Smalls!”

Ham for sure has most of the best lines of the movie. The one line that will live on forever, however, is one that he repeats throughout. “You’re killing me, Smalls!”

Smalls continues to be a bit of a nuisance to the team throughout the story, given his more tepid nature and lack of baseball knowledge. Ham is always there with this hilarious line to remind us all that Smalls has much left to learn.
