Summary
Four drive-in theaters in New Jersey, Illinois, Georgia and California will screen the 1993 film "The Sandlot" on July 4 under a new MLB holiday promotion.
Each venue will also show its hometown MLB team's live game that night, turning the event into a movie-and-baseball double feature rather than a standard film screening.
MLB said the sites will add ballpark-style food, food trucks and fireworks, framing the package as an Independence Day event built around baseball and Americana.
The promotion ties a baseball cult classic to live local team broadcasts, giving MLB a themed fan event outside stadiums for the July 4 holiday.
