The Sandlot ended up being at the center of a big lawsuit. A former classmate of David Mickey Evans claimed that the character Squints was based on him, and that the portrayal was humiliating and caused him “undue embarrassment.” A judge eventually dismissed the case, stating there wasn’t enough evidence of the similarities between Squints and this man. In the world of Hollywood, it helped set a precedent that filmmakers could loosely base a character on a real person without fear of repercussions.
