The inner-city Blues baseball team is having a lousy year. Shortstop Nash and the Blues can’t seem to win.
They especially hate losing to their archrivals, the rich kids of the Parkhill Pirates.
When all-star player Jock joins the team, it looks like the Blues might be able to turn the season around.
The only problem? When the Pirates find out that Jock is gay, they ambush Nash and Jock, and Nash has to decide if he wants to stand by his teammate.
