Hollywood has produced very little in the way of sports movies for the kids in the last 20 years. This is especially true of baseball movies. The Sandlot, Rookie of the Year, Little Big League, and Angels in the Outfield hit theaters over a 15-month span in the mid-90s. What changed? I talked to the writer/director of The Sandlot, among others, to get to the bottom of this unfortunate trend.
