| Log Line: Two ex-Major Leaguers reignite a World Series grudge when they meet years later in a high stakes Wiffle Ball tournament. |
| |
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! |
