During 1932, one of the young baseball fans Yankee Irving (Jake Austin) appeared. One day, Yankee has reached a turning point in his life when he faces a critical decision. It is a decision that will change his life, as he will seize the opportunity and become a champion, or if things remain the same.
The setup of this computer-animated feature is strained, the story is contrived, and the ending is downright silly.
