OMAHA, Neb. - On Saturday, August 17 the Omaha Storm Chasers will welcome David Mickey Evans, the director and narrator of "The Sandlot" as part of the film's 20th anniversary summer tour for an 8 p.m. showing.
Evans will be available before the screening of the film to sign autographs on the concourse. Evans will introduce the film and answer fans' questions before a special screening of "The Sandlot" on the Werner Park video board for an open audience.
The tour returns to Omaha, where Evans debuted it last August. Fans are encouraged to bring blankets and to sit on the outfield grass. Chairs will be allowed on the field on the infield dirt. Dogs are also allowed to visit Werner Park for the screening and will be able to enter the park for free, and will be able to sit anywhere in the seating bowl and on the grass berm seating area.
Tickets are available for only $5 at the Werner Park ticket office, by phone at (402) 738-5100 or online at www.omahastormchasers.com. The tour, which debuted this year in Trenton, N.J. on April 13, includes stops at 20 ballparks in 2013 from New Jersey to Los Angeles, including three Major League parks - the Ballpark at Arlington, Target Field and Busch Stadium.
"The Sandlot," which opened in theaters on April 7, 1993, became a cult classic after releasing on home video. In a review for the Chicago Tribune, Roger Ebert called the film "a summertime âChristmas Story.'"
