Log Line:
Shunned by the fans who once adored him after an epic on-field collapse, ex-major leaguer Carter McCain is a personal and professional failure. But when his World Series nemesis challenges him to a high-stakes Wiffle Ball game, Carter gains the courage to once again take the field leading his rag-tag team in a final shot at redemption.
Brief Synopsis:
Following a devastating World Series loss and career-ending injury, and now alone with a failed business, Carter McCain has never been lower. But Carter gets baited into a Wiffle Ball tournament by his old rival, Guy Tyler, the surly fireballing closer who ended his career.
His former intern, the high school debate team, a love interest and an ex-teammate with some unfinished business combine to back Carter on the Wiffle Ball field.
Battling a painful past, chronic injuries and an empty bank account, Carter fights to win back the respect of baseball's angriest fans and just maybe have a shot at love if he can prove his self worth by leading his ragtag team to victory over his longtime nemesis.
It’s a plastic on plastic duel for Wiffle Ball supremacy!
