Brad is smart, idealistic, and unemployed, with a lifelong history of coming up short. When he stumbles into an arrangement to coach a softball team of eleven- and twelve-year-old girls, he is surprised to find himself having fun: getting out in the spring sunshine, teaching the game, coming to know and care about his players. Through a season of tears and cringe-worthy errors, of new skills and confidence gained, of off-field distractions and new understandings, a man and a group of girls learn a thing or two about a game.
