For the first time, Pete Young carries a risk - perhaps the risk of his life - when he applies for and lands his dream job. The issue is that his lone mother, Lynne has. Until today, he's been the golden boy while his rebellious older sister has been in the dog house. Pete attends a stern school at which he hangs out with his very best friend, Mike, who hopes to profit on his friend's new position in life. At the project, Pete becomes a member of a new family which includes Conrad Dean, one of their boy's all time idols and star third baseman and the team captain, who takes on the use of an elderly brother. Also are Pete's supervisor, Lou Russo, a gruff but fair equipment manager who becomes a father figure. Carlos Tavares, a rookie who believes that Pete is his good luck charm, and Jose Marquez, '' the Empires' mind batboy. Pete is at being a portion of his team since he faces but he has to balance life.
