In the dog days of summer, a ragtag group of neighborhood kids bond over their love of America's pastime in the classic 1993 film "The Sandlot." But their baseball adventures hit a snag thanks to a menacing guard dog who patrols the yard beyond the outfield fence. What's the true identity of this supposedly fearsome canine?
▼
Correct Answer: Hercules
In "The Sandlot," Hercules is the actual name of the English Mastiff the kids spend all summer fearing. Smalls and his pals are convinced the dog is a child-eating monster they call "The Beast," but they later discover he's a gentle giant tasked with guarding his owner's prized baseball memorabilia.
