‘The Sandlot’ Star Patrick Renna Announces Birth of 3rd Child


Patrick Renna’s family isn’t so Smalls anymore.

The “Sandlot” star announced July 8 on Instagram that he and his wife, Jasmin, have welcomed their third child.

“Lily June Renna,” he captioned a quartet of photos. “Born July 2nd, 2:49am. 7 lbs. 7 oz. After three, I’m even more in awe of my wife and all moms out there. Mom is good. Baby is good. Brothers are good. Dad is… how much time you got?”

The pictures included a shot of his daughter in a onesie, as well as one of his wife carrying her and another of Renna lying down with his new bundle of joy. The fourth and final picture captured Lily’s two older brothers standing over her, each with a hand on her.

Renna and his wife welcomed their first child, Flynn, in April 2017, while their second child, Liam, was born in June 2020.

Renna remains a beloved figure for his role as Hamilton “Ham” Porter in 1993’s “The Sandlot,” uttering one of the great lines from the movie that is still oft-quoted today: “You’re killing me, Smalls!”

Renna has never strayed too far from the role. In May, he took part in a Savannah Bananas baseball game in Anaheim, California, even calling his shot, just like his character did in “The Sandlot.”

He wrote about the experience, even referencing the imminent addition to his family.

“Feeling sentimental. Maybe it’s ’cause I’m gonna be a #girldad soon,” he wrote on Instagram.

Renna also expressed his gratitude that his oldest son was on hand to soak in the moment.

“This night with the Savannah Bananas reminded me how special being part of this movie is. A night to remember. Even more special was that my 8-year-old was there to see 45,000 people cheer on his pop,” he wrote.
