'The Sandlot''s Patrick Renna Welcomes Baby No. 3, a Girl, with Wife Jasmin
'The Sandlot' alum Patrick Renna welcomed his third child with his wife, Jasmin: Baby Lily June Renna, who was born on July 2 "After three, I'm even more in awe of my wife and all moms out there," Renna gushed in his Instagram caption that revealed the news, adding, "Mom is good. Baby is good. Brothers are good. Dad is … how much time you got?" The proud parents already share sons Liam, 5, and Flynn, 8Patrick Renna is officially a dad of three, and he's showering praise on his wife after she gave birth! On Tuesday, July 8, the 45-year-old actor and author, best known for his role in The Sandlot, revealed that he and his wife, Jasmin, welcomed their third child, who is their first baby girl. Renna shared the exciting news with a post on Instagram, saying that the newest addition to the family arrived on July 2. Her name is Lily June Renna. Baby Lily was born at 2:49 a.m. and weighed in at 7 lbs. 7 oz. The proud dad shared several photos in the post, including one of his daughter resting in bed. In it, the baby was dressed in a cozy pink onesie with a matching bow on her head. In another picture, Renna stared at the camera while cradling the newborn in one arm as they rested together. Another snapshot showed Jasmin out for a walk with Lily strapped to her chest. The mom of three was casually dressed in black leggings and sneakers, finishing off her outfit with sunglasses and a hat. One final picture was of Lily with her older brothers — Liam, 5, and Flynn, 8. In it, she's resting in a bassinet as Liam and Flynn look down on her with sweet expressions on their faces. "After three, I'm even more in awe of my wife and all moms out there," Renna gushed in the caption, adding, "Mom is good. Baby is good. Brothers are good. Dad is … how much time you got?" The happy family exclusively told PEOPLE that Lily was on the way in February. At the time, Renna and his wife were already aware that they'd be having a baby girl. However, thanks to a mix-up, they initially thought that a third son was on the way. "We were convinced we were having our third boy because I mistakenly looked at our second son's test results from 2020. Whoops!" the actor explained. "So, for two weeks, we were all set on welcoming another little guy — until the doctor called and told us the real news." He continued, saying, "Finding out we're having a baby girl was the best surprise, and my wife, our two boys, and I couldn't be more excited to meet her." During the interview, he praised Jasmin for being an "incredible mother" and an "amazing partner and wife." How would he rate his performance as a dad? 'I call myself like a C-plus, B-minus dad,' he joked with PEOPLE. 'I'm not the worst, but I got some learning to do — that's for sure.' The happy couple welcomed Flynn in April 2017. Liam followed in June 2020. Their young sons posed for a beachside photoshoot with Renna and Jasmin earlier this year. In the pictures, they all matched in classic blue jeans and cream shirts. Jasmin's oversized sweatshirt read "Mama To Be." Renna made his acting debut in The Sandlot in 1993, playing Hamilton "Ham" Porter in the classic baseball movie. For the film's 30th anniversary in 2023, the child star reflected on the memories he made with his costars on set. "Those are the best memories because we truly were like brothers on and off the field," he told PEOPLE. "So the moments of back in the apartment complexes we were staying in, in the swimming pool and just being buds over the summer. Those are the best memories." That bond has survived the test of time. Decades later, the cast still keeps in touch via a group chat. "We're all on it. We're all pretty close," Renna shared. "Some of the guys, Marty [York] and Victor [DiMattia], are quite close and they've sort of stayed in touch over all the years. But I see them a couple times a year, and it's like no time has passed and we just jump right back into it." He added, "We're close, for sure. We all share this great moment in history together." In fact, Sandlot alums, including Marty York and Chauncey Leopardi, wished Renna and Jasmin congratulations in the comments section. Read the original article on People

'Sandlot' star Patrick Renna on new book, why 'Smalls is still killing Ham' 30 years later
'Sandlot' star Patrick Renna on new book, why 'Smalls is still killing Ham' 30 years later Show Caption Hide Caption Patrick Renna on 'The Sandlot' legacy and his new baseball kids book From "The Sandlot" to storytelling, actor Patrick Renna shares why baseball, friendship and nostalgia inspired his first kid's book. USA TODAY More than three decades after 'The Sandlot' swung for the fences, Scotty Smalls (Tom Guiry) is still striking out with Hamilton 'Ham' Porter (Patrick Renna). The actors, who played one continuous game of baseball under the watchful eye of a Mastiff named The Beast in the 1993 movie, have a group chat, with 'a lot of juice in there,' Renna, 45, says. Guiry is 'a big meme-er and it's really obnoxious,' he jokes. 'He doesn't sleep, and you'll get these crazy memes at 2 a.m. He's literally killing me 30 years later. Smalls is still killing Ham.' Renna, unforgettable as the smack-talking catcher who will diss you for mixing 'your Wheaties with your mama's toe jam,' has written a children's book. 'A Little Slugger's Guide to the Unwritten Rules of Baseball and Life' is available now and gives readers 20 life lessons inspired by America's favorite pastime. 'Life is a game, isn't it?' Renna says. 'But baseball, specifically, is the sport I know so well.' Renna grew up playing Little League in Boston, and then booked 'The Sandlot' after his second audition ever. In his 30s, his softball teammates would quote the film mom and tell him to 'get dirty." Today Renna's two children play ball, and he coaches, "so that was a very easy thing to find the kind of corollaries there and (the book) sort of just flowed.' The book opens with a rule picked up on the Salt Lake City set of 'The Sandlot': 'Always be ready.' Renna remembers a time he had to put that into practice while filming. The scene in which Ham swaps barbs with a rival baseball team was originally written for Benny 'The Jet' Rodriguez (Mike Vitar), Renna says. He remembers about an hour before the scene, director David Mickey Evans 'came in my trailer ... threw the script at me dramatically and said, 'This is yours, kid. Get off book. You've got an hour.'' Enter Ham to save the day and eviscerate the other team with words. Renna's comedic performance is the stuff MVPs are made of, Guiry praises. 'I rewatched the movie not too long ago with my daughter,' says the actor who brought the awkward Smalls to life. 'And it was the first time I actually sat back and (saw) Pat's deliveries on a lot of things are just amazing. 'When I read the script, it wasn't funny,' Guiry adds. 'But his delivery was what was funny, and I thought he was just perfect in the role.' So to be legendary, 'it's up to you to always be ready for what the day might bring,' Renna writes. 'And who knows, it just might change the trajectory of your life.' Renna also advises, 'Practice isn't optional' (Rule No. 3), to 'Keep Swinging' (Rule No. 7) and that 'Failure is part of the game (and it's a part of life)' (Rule No. 12). And he emphasizes the importance of, 'Rule No. 18: Give it your all,' while drawing on some enlightening words from Bryan Cranston. 'He said as an actor, when you go into that audition, you give it your all and you put everything you possibly can into that audition,' Renna says. 'And the second that door closes you leave it all behind. Because it's now out of your hands. And being on the other side, and casting as a producer, casting people I've seen that to be true. It really is out of your hands in those moments. But if you give it your all, that's all that matters.'That kind of knowledge? We'll gladly have s'more of that.
