The Blue Sox are looking for ball players and Tim Casey, even though he denies it at first, has a desire to see just how far his talent and ambition will take him. Tim has the ability, but is young, spoiled, and arrogant at first. When called out by the manager and questioned whether he REALLY wants to play baseball, and whether he could ever make a TEAM player, Tim realizes how much he really loves the game. He begs the Blue Sox management for just a chance to show them that he can be a baseball player at this level, and to be a team player. Tim has a conditional contract with the stipulation that he prove he can be a TEAM player.
