The adventure of a lifetime, the summer of their dreams...the dog of their nightmares.
They're more than a team. They're the best buddies in the entire history of the world.
A piece of paradise a half block wide and a whole summer long.
You're killing me, Smalls!

Squints:
Oh, no!

[A snooty rival baseball team called the Tigers, whom the Sandlot kids are enemies with arrive in their uniforms and bicycles. The Sandlot kids soon arrive to confront their rivals, including the leader, Phillips.]

Phillips:
Ah, it's easy when you play with a bunch of rejects and a fat kid, Rodriguez.

Benny:
Shut your mouth, Phillips!

Ham:
What'd you say, crap-face?!

Phillips:
I said, you shouldn't even allowed to touch a baseball. Except for Rodriguez, you're all an insult to the game.

Ham:
Come on! We'll take you on, right here, right now! Come on!

Sandlot Kids:
Yeah!

Ham:
Yeah, right now!

Phillips:
We play on a real diamond, Porter. You ain't good enough to lick the dirt off our cleats.

Ham:
Watch it, jerk!

Phillips:
Shut up, idiot!

Ham:
Moron!

Phillips:
Scab eater!

Ham:
Butt sniffer!

Phillips:
Pus licker!

Ham:
Fart smeller!

Bertram:
[sniffs] Ahh.

Phillips:
You eat dog crap for breakfast, geek!

Ham:
You mix your Wheaties with your mama's toe jam!

Sandlot Kids:
Yeah!

Phillips:
You bob for apples in the toilet! And you like it!

Ham:
You play ball like a girl!

[the Sandlot kids gasp as the entire group stands in shocked silence; the Sandlot kids start laughing]

Phillips:
[shocked smile] What did you say?

Ham:
You heard me.

Phillips:
Tomorrow. Noon, at our field. Be there, buffalo-butt breath.

Ham:
Count on it, pee-drinking crap-face!

Kids:
Yeah!

Phillips:
Let's go!

[the Tigers ride away, and the Sandlot kids cheer for Ham]

Timmy:
[to Ham; pats his arm] Good job.

Ham:
[about the Tigers] Jerks. [scene fades to Ham putting on Umpire mask] PLAY BALL! [puts on umpire mask] Hurry up, batter. It's gonna be a short game, and I gotta get home for lunch. [Pitcher pitches and the batter doesn't even swing] Ha-ha! That's one. [scene cuts to new pitch] [to the batter] You know, if my dog was as ugly as you, I'd shave his butt, and tell him to walk backwards. [scene cuts to new pitch] The heater. Here it comes. I dare ya. [Ham puts the batter off, he swings and misses] Strike three, you're out. [scene cuts to new pitch] Hey. Is that your sister out there in left field, naked? She's naked.

Phillips:
[gets distracted and misses] Shut up, Porter!

Ham:
Hey, hey, hey. I'm just trying to start a friendly conversation. Come on. [two seconds later] Think she'll go out with me?

Smalls:
You don't understand! That wasn't my ball!

Squints:
[shocked] What do you mean, that wasn't your ball?

Smalls:
It was my stepdad's. I stole it from his trophy room. It was a present or something. Somebody gave it to him, but we gotta to get it back. He's gonna kill me!

Squints:
Listen to me, Smalls. This is a matter of life and death. Where did your old man get that ball?

Smalls:
What? I don't know. Some lady gave it to him. Why? [the Sandlot kids gets confused] Yeah, she even signed her name on it. Some lady named... Ruth. Baby Ruth.

Everyone else:
BABE RUTH?!

[Everyone screams in horror and darts toward the fence]

Ham:
NO!!!

[Everyone rushes back to Smalls screaming after seeing the ball getting taken by the beast.]

Smalls:
Hey, guys! What's going on?

Kenny:
The beast got it!

Timmy:
You're dead as a doornail, Smalls.

Tommy:
You're dead as a doornail, Smalls.

Timmy:
Smalls, you mean to tell me you went home and swiped a ball that was signed by Babe Ruth, and you brought it out here and actually played with it?!

Tommy:
And actually played with it?!

Smalls:
Yeah. Yeah, but I was gonna put back.

Squints:
But it was signed by Babe Ruth!

Smalls:
Yeah. Yeah. You keep telling me that! Who is she?!

Ham:
[shocked] What?! What?!

Kenny:
The sultan of swat!

Bertram:
The king of crash.

Timmy:
The colossus of clout!

Tommy:
The colossus of clout!

The Sandlot Kids:
Babe Ruth!

Ham:
[emphatically] The Great Bambino!

Smalls:
[in shock and horror] Oh, my God! You mean that's the same guy?!

Everyone else:
Yes!

Benny:
Smalls, Babe Ruth was the greatest baseball player that ever lived. I mean, people said he was less than a god, but more than a man. Like, Hercules, or something. That ball you just aced to The Beast is worth...well, more than your whole life, man.

Smalls:
[nauseated] Ohh. I don't feel so good. [collapses to his knees]

The Sandlot Kids:
[simultaneously concerned] Uh-oh, fan him. Give him air. Give him air. [fanning Smalls]

Smalls:
We gotta get that ball back.
