Tommy and his sidekick, Doc, find more than they are looking for when they search for a fishing hole in the Amish country of central Ohio. A life-changing experience at a mysterious pond leads them, not only to the big leagues, but starts them on a quest to find out about the greatest pitcher of all time…Cy Young. Along the road to fame, Tommy encounters a fanatical stalker who seeks revenge and plots his demise. Through adversity, Tommy learns the deeper meaning of life. Will greed be the ultimate destruction of the very game he loves?
