TLDR; Heroes and legends don’t exist without each other
Oddly, I’ve been seeing Patrick Renna, Sandlot’s Ham Porter, on TikTok more than one might expect. Not sure if the odd part is Renna himself or me watching TikTok, but that’s neither here nor there. Instead, the famous quote from the Great Bambino to Benny Rodriguez:
Remember kid, there's heroes and there's legends. Heroes get remembered, but legends never die. Follow your heart kid, and you'll never go wrong.
Sandlot’s depiction of Babe Ruth might have you believe that a Legend is superior to a Hero, but on days like today we’re reminded that nothing worth remembering is ever accomplished alone, and that being remembered is itself a form of living forever. Perhaps legends can’t exists without heroes.
See you Monday.
