What stadium is that? Is that Glades Central old stadium? I have been to their newer stadium (back in the early 2000s), but I know it didn't look like that.

By the way, just in case some of you were confused and/or have never seen the movie "Sandlot," the "other" picture up above (the kid with the Dodger's hat) is one of Benny "the Jet" Rodriguez.    And, if you have never seen that movie, it's worth your two hours one night.
