Louis isn't very good at playing baseball, but he knows and loves the
game more than anybody, more than his superathlete stepbrother and the
neighborhood bullies. He loves the purity of the sport, the crack of a
bat and the smell of fresh cut grass in the stadium. And more than
anything, he loves the New York Yankees. So when he amazingly finds
himself in a position to become a bat boy for the team during the summer
of 1961, it is like a dream come true. Little does he know, that he's
about to have a front row seat to one of the most memorable seasons in
sports history. And that the heroes he looks up to will teach him things
about life that will change him forever.
