Is the movie Sandlot based on a true story?

Answer 1

No.

Answer 2

NO! Both the young and older Benny's are played by actors who are actually brothers. They were discovered by a talent scout while waiting in line at an amusement park. The actor playing the older Benny was a police officer, but he tragically died a few years ago to Leukemia. His brother, the younger Benny, is a paramedic.

There never was a Benny "the Jet" Rodriguez in MLB.

Answer 3

Characters in the film are fictionalized, such as the machinist"s mate turned BAR gunner who is pretty much the hero of the film. The reality is Gunboats were widely used on the Bodies of Water in China, and were involved in occasional battles with (warlords) who were essentially militarized gangsters. The film took place during the twenties- when officially the US ( and USN) were not involved in military operations overseas. So we had Gunboat diplomacy- on a much larger scale with BB class vessels- it was termed Battleship Diplomacy- same idea- Might Backs up Right!- but heavier calibers throughout!

Answer 4

The movie is pure fiction, but it was alleged that the events were taken from real life, a man who's name is uncannily similar to the character Squints palladorous who was a childhood friend of the director, and co-writer of the screenplay took this all the way to the supreme court. The court ultimately sided with the film maker.

Answer 5
