 Rating:  - Courtesy of Teens Read TooSeth Barnam's father was a golfer, and it probably would have been Seth's game, too, but his dad died when Seth was only seven. Coming to terms with his father's death was difficult for Seth, but then he met Jimmy Winter. Jimmy has lots of baseball talent, and a father that demands perfection from him. The boys become fast friends, and both sign up for Little League, even though Seth feels inadequate compared to his new friend. Their time together is spent practicing baseball, with Jimmy's father usually there to coach them and urge them to improve.
