SYNOPSIS
One player on a baseball team lets his ego run his life and ends up losing the girl he is dating--who happens to be the team manager's daughter. Another player on the team is a great pitcher but a terrible catcher, is more of a comic relief, and is dating a somewhat odd girl.
Jim Dolan, with a little help from his grandmother, shows the Pittsburgh baseball team what a good pitcher he can be. Jim also becomes involved in romance with Elaine, the manager's daughter, while Maizie, a gold digger, schemes to come between them.
Ballpark vendor Benny, by coincidence, becomes the team's catcher while his quirky sweetheart, Cookie, cheers him on. Jim becomes arrogant, alienates teammates and is even suspended, but snaps out of it in time to save the big game of the World Series.
