Official Trailer for 'Dugout Dads' Series - 'The Sandlot' Spiritual Sequel

"When your a kid, baseball is your life..." ⚾️ Hambino Media revealed their official trailer for a series titled Dugout Dads, which will be out for streaming later this month via YouTube. The series is basically the real legacy sequel to the classic 90s summer movie The Sandlot (one of my all-time faves) bringing back many of the original actors for a follow-up baseball comedy. But it's not actually a real sequel (they did make a few direct-to-video ones anyway but those don't count). It's created and developed (and stars) the actor Patrick Renna, who played "Ham" (aka "The Great Hambino") in the original film. Renna states (via GeekTyrant) that they've been thinking about an actual sequel but it never came together: "They were toying with doing a sequel, and it's tough because it's not like taking the actual original IP and trying to better it, because to do that is impossible. How do you better that? That was lightning in a bottle." Instead, he created this series with his pals. An idealistic dad volunteers to coach his kids' Little League team and discovers that the most unruly players aren't the ten-year-olds but the other coaches, parents, and sometimes himself. Starring Renna + Danielle Fishel, Chauncey Leopardi ("Squints"), Tom Guiry ("Scotty"), Brandon Quintin Adams ("Kenny"), Marty York ("Yeah-Yeah"), Grant Gelt ("Bertram"), Victor DiMattia ("Timmy") & Shane Obedzinski ("Tommy"), plus Michael Peña as himself. So "who's ready for game day?" Play ball! // Continue Reading ›
