Millennials everywhere who weren't at a recent Savannah Bananas game will be sent into a nostalgic spiral when they see the video of Patrick Renna, better known as Ham Porter or "The Great Hambino" in the 1993 film The Sandlot, stepping up to bat.

The Savannah Bananas provide the perfect interactive baseball game experience for fans and families, and inviting well-known personalities is just part of their repertoire.

But inviting someone like Renna to the batter's box is almost too iconic to handle.

As he walked up from the bench, he was introduced:

"Coming to bat, the Great Hambino! Ham Porter!"

He raised his helmet up over his head to the screams of the crowd, and when he stepped up to the plate, he did his iconic stance from The Sandlot, pointing one finger out to the crowd, implying a homerun that Babe Ruth would be proud of.

You can watch the magic moment here:

The Great Hambino hitting for your Savannah Bananas😎 #sandlot #nostalgia #savannahbananas #bananaball #foryou #baseball

The first pitch was a fastball. He missed and called out the nostalgic line:

"Hey! This is baseball, not tennis!"

After missing the second one, he called out another line:

"You call that the heater?!"

Renna finally hit the third pitch, a shallow right clip, which was easily caught by an outfielder. Though he didn't get a chance to run the bases, the team gathered around him in appreciation, and the crowd went wild.

Twitter (X) users could not get over the iconic moment.





Instagram was similarly floored by Renna's appearance on the field.

Perhaps most importantly, it was a moment for the record books for Patrick Renna, too.

Sure, fans would have loved to see Renna hit a home run and slowly trot the bases while pointing to the horizon as he did in the film. But it was still awesome to see him out there again!

Jesse Watters Blasted For Hypocrisy After Using Term He Was Previously Outraged By

Fox News personality Jesse Watters was called out for hypocrisy after he described the oustings of ABC News correspondent Terry Moran and Democratic National Committee (DNC) Vice Chair David Hogg as them having been "86'd"—just weeks after complaining about the term "86 47," which he sees as a clear call to assassinate President Donald Trump.

The term "86" means to eject, discard, or disprove of, and though it's said to have military origins, it's commonly used in restaurants when getting rid of unruly customers or when a patron has specific dietary restrictions. For example, saying "86 the mushrooms on the burger" means to prepare a burger sans mushrooms. Similarly, saying "86 the burger with mushrooms" means to not make the burger at all.
