An unhappy dreamer with a stifling job and a stale family life attempts to bury his disappointments in the only thing he thinks will save him --- baseball. But when old-time greats from the hereafter appear to middle-aged family man Austin Stoddard one by one at Target Field in Minneapolis, he is overwhelmed. He struggles to find meaning in the apparitions --- or are they apparitions? Nothing makes sense at all until ... their manager appears.
