What To Know

Patrick Renna (Ham) and Chauncey Leopardi (Squints) from the 1993 film The Sandlot reunited on TikTok for a playful lip-sync video.
Renna has embraced his Sandlot legacy on social media, while Leopardi, who mostly left Hollywood, made a rare and nostalgic appearance for fans in the video.
The Sandlot remains a beloved cultural touchstone, and the duo’s TikTok reunion delighted fans by evoking memories of childhood friendships and the film’s enduring appeal.

For anyone who grew up in the early ’90s, The Sandlot is more than just a baseball movie. The movie was full of funny kids, and among the most memorable characters were Hamilton “Ham” Porter, the wisecracking catcher, and Squints, the mischievous kid with oversized glasses.

Now, more than three decades after the film’s 1993 release, Ham and Squints are back together, this time on TikTok. Patrick Renna and Chauncey Leopardi reunited for a lighthearted lip-sync video. The two appear side by side mouthing along to Cardi B‘s new song that samples 4 Non Blondes’ ’90s anthem, “What’s Goin On,” featuring Lizzo.

Many fans commented on the video with one saying, “The youths today have no idea how iconic this is.” Another added, “Legends never die ❤” with a photo of the duo in the film.

Renna has built a following on social media by embracing his place in movie history and focusing on nods to The Sandlot. His TikTok page is filled with funny skits and even the occasional nod to his famous line, “You’re killin’ me, Smalls.” Fans love that he has leaned into the nostalgia, and they loved his former costars’ cameo even more.

While Renna has continued working in film and television, Leopardi largely stepped back from Hollywood after his childhood acting years, so it was a fun treat to see the two together. He occasionally pops up for fan conventions or interviews, but spotting him in a casual TikTok is exciting for fans.

The Sandlot has remained a cultural touchstone for over 30 years because it perfectly captured the feeling of childhood summers and lifelong friendships. This silly TikTok video is a reminder that sometimes, those friendships live on.
