Baseball and movie lovers can bring some lawn chairs, pick up food at a nearby restaurant and set up outside the Great American Ball Park video board at 8:30 p.m. Thursday.
Before the movie starts, fans may meet some of the original cast members. Grant Gelt, who plays Bertram; Victor DiMattia, who plays Timmy Timmons; and Shane Obedzinski, who plays Tommy “Repeat” Timmons will appear at Moerlein Lager House as celebrity bartenders during the happy hour before the screening.
The three stars are participating in the screening with Play Forever, a nonprofit Gelt and DiMattia co-founded focused on helping young kids access and play youth sports. The Sandlot, which also stars Denis Leary and James Earl Jones, focuses on a group of young boys who play baseball every day at their neighborhood sandlot.
