In 1991 Eddie Romano, an undersized, unconfident kid, finds an antique baseball glove while on a treasure hunt of the ruins of the old Comiskey Park in Chicago.

Instantly that glove becomes his obsession. He swears that while he sleeps at night he's transported to a dreary, decrepit ballpark where he learns the game of baseball from a skillful young ballplayer, who seems to be under the control of a dark, sinister figure who calls himself, "The Manager."

Miraculously, Eddie becomes a better ballplayer and is rewarded for anti-social behavior by having his skills improve. As his bad attitude causes him to lose more and more friends on his team, he begins receiving phone calls from legendary baseball players, Babe Ruth, and Lou Gehrig, who assist him with his batting problems and at the same time encourage him to be a better teammate.

Unbeknownst to Eddie, two factions of angels are waging a war for his soul. What is the price of glory? Eddie will soon find out.
