I met Jackie on the set of the original "Bad News Bears" back in 1976. A bunch of us local Chatsworth kids were asked to practice with some the kids in the film. He seemed nice enough and wasn't a bad player considering he was a 15 year old playing a 12 year old.

ok, now that's extremely cool. Talk about a huge movie. And you were essentially part of that history. Lucky man.

They shot the movie down the street from my childhood home - Mason Park in Chatsworth, CA. We had a lot of fun watching. I dare say it influenced my choice in a career.

Lots of other "I was there" kind of stuff, but the mailman is my only strong link.
It was kind of cool watching it in a theatre when they show the theatre you are watching it in on the screen.
.....but hey....did I mention that my Bloomington, IN little league baseball team was in Melloncamp's "Small Town" video???

Personally no. I was much too young and my mother never would have allowed it. There have been many, many kids killed in that quarry. One killed this last spring/early summer IIRC.
