Trama
Billy Chapel, campione di baseball dei Detroit Tigers a fine carriera, affronta l'ultima partita prima del ritiro; il vecchio proprietario ha infatti venduto la squadra e l'anno seguente verrà ceduto ai San Francisco Giants. Dopo 19 anni nei Tigers, Bill decide di abbandonare dopo l'ultima incontro della stagione contro i New York Yankees. Seguiamo quindi la vita di Billy dal primo incontro, all'infortunio che sembra spezzarne la carriera, fino al lieto fine che coincide con la realizzazione per il campione del sogno di ogni lanciatore: la partita perfetta.
Billy Chapel deve scegliere tra la donna che ama e lo sport per cui vive.
