The story follows a middle-aged everyman who has lived his life in the shadows of society. In the grand tradition of baseball stunts, he wins a raffle, and the prize is a once in a lifetime chance to bat in a real major league game. Instead of being a one-hit-wonder, a series of flukes events lead to him being offered a Major League contract as a pinch hitter and oddball curiosity. Thrown completely unprepared into his new world, he and his family must learn to decipher this strange environment, relationships, and the life that comes with it. He pinch-hits nine times and ends up succeeding beyond anyone's wildest expectations. This experience unlocks unexpected growth in both him and his muse and constant companion, his gifted autistic 10-year-old son.This is a story of self-discovery and of the potential that we open ourselves to new experiences, ways of thinking, and seeing.
