Replay - The Sandlot

In honor of the passing of the late and great James Earl Jones, I have dug out of the old archives the Sandlot and cleaned it up. As our own baseball season is winding down, nice to reminisce about the boys of summer and one of the greatest voices to grace the silver screen. 
As an aside, my own voice on this track sounds unrecognizable, yeesh.
