Trivia: Who is “the Beast” in the 1993 film “The Sandlot”?
An MLB pitcher
A school bully
A little league coach
A neighborhood dog
The correct answer is A neighborhood dog
So why is this answer correct? : After moving to a new town, Scottie Smalls (Thomas Guiry) makes friends with the boys who play baseball at the neighborhood sandlot. When the skin of the group’s only baseball comes off, Smalls borrows a baseball from his stepfather that he thought was signed by a woman named Babe Ruth. That autographed ball goes missing when Smalls hits it over the fence into the yard of “the Beast,” a giant old English mastiff. The boys spend the rest of the movie trying to retrieve the ball from the junkyard dog.
