Stupidity: There is no way Mr. Mertyle did not hear the fence in his backyard crash to the ground; there's also a likely chance he could hear his dog crying and Smalls saying the dog is hurt. Even if he could ignore the sounds of other attempts to try to get the ball back; with the fence coming down where his dog lives and the chances of an injured pet it seems far too unlikely he wouldn't have rushed straight to the backyard hearing this.
The Sandlot (1993)
1 stupidity
Directed by: David M. Evans
Starring: Chauncey Leopardi, Tom Guiry, Mike Vitar, Patrick Renna
Continuity mistake: When Smalls tries to throw the ball for the first time, everyone laughs at him and falls down. When it shows the guys from Smalls' view, it shows Yeah-Yeah falling down. Then when Smalls is running away, it shows Yeah-Yeah falling again.
Hamm: You play ball like a girl!
Trivia: The cast reunited, with the exception of Mike Vitar, and were honored at a Los Angeles Dodgers game in 2018 as part of the film's 25th anniversary. They were also honored at a game for the Salt Lake Bees, a minor league affiliate of the Los Angeles Angels (some of the movie was filmed in Salt Lake City).
Question: Benny gave a hat to Smalls to replace the fish hat. What team and what year was the hat?
Answer: It's a blue hat with a yellow/gold capitol "C" for the logo, which doesn't correspond to any major league teams. It could be a minor league or school team hat. Benny refers to it as his "old" hat, so he may have replaced it with the Dodgers hat he's wearing.
