A mysterious note urges Stan to face his baseball rival. Will he rise to the challenge?
Stan Martin dreams of playing second base, but rival Gary Newman stands in his way. Tempted to quit after setbacks, Stan receives a mysterious note urging him to persevere. As he confronts his fears and the challenge at second base, will Stan find the courage to follow his passion, or will he walk away like his brother did? The stakes are high, and the game is on. Can Stan overcome the odds and prove himself on the field?
Stan Martin’s chances of playing second base seem next to zero at the start of the season. His rival for the position, Gary Newman, looks tough to beat. Stan loves baseball - maybe even more than his brother, Phil, who played pro ball until quitting suddenly the year before - but after experienceing a few setbacks, Stan is tempted to quit too. Then Stan receives a mysterious note telling him to stick it out - and soon Stan find himself face-to-face with the challenge at second base.
