If you were a ’90s kid, The Sandlot probably holds a special place in your heart. The coming-of-age baseball movie didn’t make a big splash at the box office when it released on April 7, 1993. But in the 28 years since its release, it’s become a cult classic.
Here’s a look at the cast of The Sandlot now and what they’ve been doing in the past 28 years.
Patrick Renna (“Hamilton ‘Ham’ Porter”)
Patrick Renna, 42, played Ham Porter, the catcher with the memorable catchphrase, “You’re killing me, Smalls.” He was a prolific child actor, making guest appearances on shows like Salute Your Shorts, Home Improvement, and Boy Meets World. You might also remember him from films like Son-in-Law and The Big Green. Renna has continued to act over the years, and most recently appeared in the guest role of Cupcake on GLOW.
