The fact that we’re getting more of The Sandlot isn’t a shock given the love for the property, but the possible plot is somewhat surprising.
The Beast in the first film was a dog that frightened the young baseball players and collected the baseballs they hit into his yard.
He was built up to be this ferocious monster to be feared and avoided; the kind of neighborhood legend that all kids love to tell and perfectly captures the childhood imagination.
He ultimately turned out to be a lovable old English Mastiff named Hercules.
