description: Gil Davidson is the coach of an amateur baseball team in Michigan, national finalists many times over but champions never. He has spent his entire adult life juggling his roles as coach to the team, father to his estranged son, and caretaker to his own disapproving father -- a man disdainful of Gil's passion for the game. Now, in this one season, Gil's star pitcher is losing his arm, his son has made it clear that he is doing just fine without him, and his own father is dying of cancer. So when a hot rookie stumbles into town, fresh from a stint in prison, Gil convinces himself that this is the season his team must win the championship. The events that unfold are unexpected, enlightening, and overwhelmingly powerful, threatening to change these individuals forever.
