Synopsis: Baseball is his life. It’s always been that way for Joe. He grew up on the diamond, played for 18 years, and coached for 14, but in all that time, never once made it to the World Series. Now he’s the new coach for the New York Yankees, and he wants the championship. The team’s terrible. They can’t pitch, can’t hit, can’t catch. To top it off, everyone in New York is predicting Joe will be out by the end of the season. To the world, it’s hopeless. To Joe, it’s a beginning.
