The Sandlot: Heading Home Page #9

---

- Oh, it's just Needman!

[Boy]

Don't strike out!

All right, Timber.

It's okay, Timber.

[Wok]

Come on, Timber.

Time!

- [Crowd Groans]

- [Woman] Come on!

He's just scared, Timber.

Give him the heat.

Let's go, Timber!

Time's a-wasting.

- Just throw it right in there.

Bring him the heat.

- Show him some heat!

[No Audible Dialogue]

[No Audible Dialogue]

[Screaming]

Yeah!

That's my boy! Yeah!

- [Man] Yeah!

- [Cheering]

- Batter out!

- What?

- Look! What are you talking about?

- He caught the ball.

It touched no ground.

He's out!

- Yeah, guys!

- Tommy!

Nice catch, kid.

Geez!

We're, uh, not going to have

a situation here, are we, Earl?

'Cause, uh,

we don't want a situation.

Yeah, Sandlot!

- Whoo!

- Yeah, all right!

- [Grunts]

- You were right about that Santorelli kid.

He's gonna be an all-star.

What about that deal with my son?

He's quite the athlete, huh?

I'm not looking for athletes. I'm looking

for ballplayers, and I just found one.

- [Cheering]

- Guys! Guys! Guys!

It's been the best game of my life.

- Yeah.

- Yeah. Obviously.

- But I've got to go.

- What? We just won the big game.

At least stick around for the fireworks

and the trophy ceremony.

- [All] Yeah!

- I'm sorry, guys. I'm sorry.

I gotta go see my mom.

[Squints]

Hey, guys.

- I think Benny's got something to say to you.

- Oh, yeah.

Uh, I think there's something over there

that belongs to you guys!

[All]

Yeah!

Wow! We did it!

The sandlot's been saved!

You always knew

how to make me proud.

[Labored Breathing]

- [Tap On Glass]

- [Ryan] Tommy.

- Tommy, you forgot this.

- What are you doing here?

You're going to miss the trophy

ceremony and the fireworks!

- [Fireworks Exploding]

- Who cares? This belongs to you.

- I think he's waking up, Doctor.

- [Man] Welcome back.

What happened?

Where am I?

You're at Cedars-Sinai, Tommy.

When I, uh, heard you took

a pitch to the head in practice...

I raced over here

to check in on you.

- Q?

- No one's called me that in years.

Oh, I had...

I had the strangest dream.

- Hey, he's awake, everyone.

- Well, who's here?

Are you kidding?

More like who isn't.

- Hey, there's my boy!

- Benny, what are you doing here?

- What? A manager can't visit his favorite player?

- His favorite what?

Yeah, you know, the guys have been here

almost every day. You know, just checking in.

- They were really worried about their captain.

- Captain?

- How could you scare me like that, you silly man.

- Judy?

I'm glad to see

you recognize your own wife.

L... I missed you so much.

I'm sorry that I ever left you.

- What are you talking about?

- When I went to New York to play for the Yankees.

[Benny] Hey, pal. You never

played for the Yankees.

You've been a Dodger

your whole career.

Hey, he may be a little groggy,

but don't worry, Judy. He'll be fine.

Remember, honey? You chose

to stay with me in L.A.

- I did?

- Yeah. Yeah, you did.

Heather. Oliver.

Daddy's awake.

- We-We have ki...

- Daddy! Daddy, you're awake!

Oh, we have kids.

- Hey. Hey, boy.

- Daddy, I was so worried about you.

Looks like this old ball still has

some luck in her yet, huh, buddy?

Ryan?

Do you realize how many calls

we get every day asking about you?

- Calls?

- Yeah. On my sports radio show.

Hey, some of the guys

want to come in and say hi.

[Thinking:
Boys' Voices]

All right, Tommy!

It's just like you said, Mom.

Good things to good people.

[Crowd Cheering]

Tommy Santorelli...

14-time all-star...

three-time World Series champion,

M.V.P. Of two of them.

But, uh, that's not the only reason

he's going straight to Cooperstown.

Tommy could be the most loved player,

teammate and leader the game's ever seen.

Having played his entire

career for the Dodgers...

Tommy turned down big money

offers from other teams over the years.

But the thing he treasures

most to this day is saving the sandlot.

[Tommy]

Forever.
