Who would have ever thought a coming-of-age baseball film in the 90s set in 1962 would remain such a classic decades later? Growing up, this cult classic was a favorite to many— myself included. Between all the characters, iconic one-liners, lessons taught, and rise from the ground up underdog story, I think it's safe to say that this movie will continue to keep its legacy for all the years to come.

Although it's your atypical sports-based movie, that doesn't necessarily even mean it's solely about sports. This film encapsulated youth and there's no denying it.

Here's 14 reasons why "The Sandlot" will always hit your feels and never get old:

1. Identifying with the lost but then found underdog.

2. If we're being honest, we witnessed some world class roasting.

3. Grasping the true meaning of empathy when it came to particular characters.

4. To never judge or fear something (or someone) before seeing it for yourself.

5. Benny "The Jet" Rodriguez

6. The greatest love stories begin differently for everyone, point proven.

7. No matter the circumstance, always follow your heart.

8. Friends come and go but your best stories come from the adventures with your best friends.

9. Idolizing and practically learning all of the nicknames of one of the greatest to ever play the game, like Colossus of Clout.

10. Nothing topped spending your entire summer with your friends every day growing up.

11. Individuality is something to embrace and people will love you more for it.

12. You're supposed to do stupid things when you're young, how else would you learn, right?

13. PF Flyers, no need to say more.

14. The narration brought amplifying hindsight to the story.

For the boys, this summer was completely and utterly unforgettable, truly carving their paths in life. One of the main lessons "The Sandlot" teaches us is that all things eventually come to an end, just like this glorious summer of 1962.

It's funny, though. As kids, you can't wait to grow up, but when you're an adult, you can't help but get nostalgic looking back at some of the best years of your life whether it be your childhood, summers, or even college— those key monumental moments when everything changed.
