Comeback Catcher

Eddie Jackson doesn't play baseball - not anymore. He loves playing catcher, but he's a nervous wreck when he's batting. So he quit the team after last summer's embarrassing championship strikeout. But when his old coach needs a backup catcher, Eddie finds himself back on the field.

Will Eddie be able to overcome his fear of the spotlight and finally step up to the plate?
