Gil Renard, a struggling knife salesman, is a temperamental divorcé who has been neglecting his responsibilities - namely his son, whom Gil awkwardly attempts to parent, and his job, which he is on the verge of losing due to poor sales. Between balancing the two, Gil displays a fervent loyalty to his favorite sport, baseball, and his favorite team, the San Francisco Giants. Gil has been following the career of the Giants' newest player, Bobby Rayburn (Snipes), since day one. Overjoyed that his favorite player has partnered with his favorite team, Gil begins to take an even greater risk with his job by attending several games during work hours. In an attempt to repair his destitute relationship with his son, Gil forces Richie to skip school in order to watch a game with his father.

Récemment transféré chez les Giants de San Francisco, le grand joueur de base-ball Bobby Rayburn connaît une baisse de régime. Fan de la première heure, Gil Renard, divorcé et père d'un petit garçon, vit pour ce sport. Par négligence, il perd à la fois la garde de son fils et son emploi de représentant en couteaux de chasse. Il centre désormais son existence autour de celle de Bobby.
