In 2018, The Sandlot, the movie that brought Shane to the limelight celebrated 25 years since its release. To celebrate that, the cast and crew prepared a series of events, including a “meet and greet” with fans of the movies and look-alike contests.

According to him, his famous line “You’re killing me Smalls” has been named one of the most quoted lines in history-or something like that.
