The cast is headed back to Salt Lake City to celebrate the 30th anniversary and FOX 13's Andrea Urban sat down with Salt Lake Bees President Marc Amicone and Vice President Operations of Utah Film Studios Marshall Moore, who are directly involved in the events.
"We love it. Besides the fact that it was shot here, for us from a baseball perspective and the initiatives that were trying to do with Minor League Baseball and Major League Baseball, this is like pure baseball," said Bees President Marc Amicone."We talk about a lot of baseball movies, but this is kids playing with each other in a sandlot just having fun, just playing the game.
Marshall Moore of Utah Film Studios added,"It's the only time you can watch The Sandlot on the Sandlot. I get to say, 'you look over there, that's where the backstop was. And over there, there's the dug out and the back fence and the dog is where I am right now.'"
