The Sandlot
- After "The Beast" chases Benny through a good chunk of town, it gets stopped when a wall crashes down on it. Scott and Benny take pity on it and work together to move the wall away so it can be free. At first everyone is afraid the animal will continue its attack, instead the dog is very grateful.
- Squints nearly drowning just so he can kiss Wendy Peffercorn (whom he has been in love with for three years) isn't just a Funny Moment of Awesome, but it's also heartwarming because it causes her to finally take notice of him. Despite the fact that it gets Squints and his friends banned from the pool for life, every time the kids walk past the pool after that day Wendy looks at Squints and smiles. Eventually, the two of them get married, have nine kids, and live Happily Ever After.
- Scott and Benny's friendship overall. It's very heartwarming to see Benny take Scott under his wing and give the new kid a chance despite Scott knowing nothing about baseball. He stands up for Scott when the other kids pick on him and teaches him about the game which also leads to the other kids accepting Scott as one of the gang as well.
- At the end, Scott is the announcer for Benny's games and they share a thumbs up like when they were kids. The two of them are still best friends as adults.
- Scott and Bill's evolving relationship. While it starts off awkward and barely existent by the end they truly become father and son, showing that just because you aren't related by blood doesn't mean you can't be family.
- Even before they learn to fully bond, Scott still stumbles, calling Bill "dad" before awkwardly switching to calling him by his name. Even back when they were still getting used to one another, Scott still saw Bill as his father. He may have been mostly hesitant not knowing if Bill felt the same.
- Mr. Mertle being completely understanding of the boys’ situation when they explain what happened and him offering Smalls a baseball signed by the 1927 New York Yankees team. And all he asks in return? Once a week, the boys come by and talk baseball with him.
- Following up the scene, Smalls’ stepdad being amazed to receive it.
- Smalls relationship with the entire gang. After their initial hazing, they welcome him in as one of their own, and it’s very obvious they truly loved him as a brother and were there for him when he needed friends the most.
