Biggie, son of a professional baseball player, is a three-hundred-pound loner. When his PE absences are exposed as fraudulent, he's forced into a game of Wiffle ball. Now determined to make varsity baseball, pitch a perfect game, and win the girl of his dreams, Biggie makes drastic changes. This coming-of-age story with an endearing underdog protagonist hits all the right notes.
