More
than 2,000 fans camped on the outfield grass of the Rangers Ballpark in
Arlington, Texas, as part of the First Fan Sleepover, organizers said.
Sleepover
attendees watched the Rangers and Astros game on a giant screen brought
in on a trailer, The Fort Worth Star-Telegram said.
They then were allowed on the outfield grass to lay out their sleeping bags, where they watched “The Sandlot.”
The
film’s director, David Evans, and one of its stars, Patrick Renna, made
a special appearance at the event, the Star-Telegram said.
20th Century Fox scheduled a tour of major and minor parks as part of the 20th anniversary celebration of the film.
“We
thought it was a natural fit,” Mary Hyink, marketing director for Fox
Sports Southwest said. “The movie has a timeless, positive message.”
