[edit] Plot

Kanin Crosby, an 11-year old boy who longs to play baseball for his local Little League team, is surprised when he and a group of other boys who, like him, are not all that talented, make the team. The team is led by experienced coach by Bobby Geiser. The team soon find out, however, that Geiser was obliged to take the less-than-stellar players on after losing a bet, provoking anger in Kanin, his friends and his mother Diane.

With Diane's help, the team overthrow Geiser and he is replaced by Billy, a retired school baseball coach. The team soon find out, however, that their new coach requires just as much self-assurance as they do. Through this they discover the value of team work.
