Description:
Ever since Jimmy Piersall was a boy, his baseball-obsessed father has pushed the sport on him. Trying to live vicariously through his son, the elder Piersall makes Jimmy eat, sleep and breathe baseball with destructive determination. But once Jimmy achieves his father's goal and makes it to the major leagues, he begins to unravel. After Jimmy suffers a breakdown, it is unclear whether he will ever be able to play the sport again.
Based on the true life story of Jimmy Piersall, who battled mental illness to achieve stardom in major league baseball.
