32 Years Later...'The Sandlot' Utah Filming Locations

The Sandlot is one of the greatest baseball movies of all-time.

Maybe you say Field of Dreams or The Natural or Bull Durham.

And they're all great but The Sandlot has a special connection to Utahns because it was filmed here.

The Utah Tourism Bureau even has a whole page dedicated to taking a tour of all of the locations.

Here's what they say about it: (LINK TO FULL ARTICLE)

"It's hard to believe that it's been 32 years since "You're killing me, Smalls" joined the canon of iconic cinema quotes. For many, it probably still seems like just yesterday that Benny "The Jet" took on the Beast, "Ham" Porter gave a pointed lesson in s'more making, or Scotty Smalls finally learned who Ruth was. That's because even after a few decades, "The Sandlot" still maintains much of its nostalgic glow."

Check out this post that shows the site of the famous pool scene. You can scroll through the photos by hitting the arrow on the right side of the picture.

Good for Ogden keeping it retro. It looks just like it did!

I've never been to any of the sites but they're all around the Salt Lake area.

From visitutah.com:

"Set in California's San Fernando Valley in the summer of 1962, many of the pivotal scenes from "The Sandlot" were actually shot right here in Utah. Within an hour of Salt Lake City, you'll find instantly-recognizable locations where you can relive the magic of this childhood classic. Just remember to pack a baseball so you can pitch your own heaters while on location."

Can't wait let's pack up our things!
