Description

A kid born of Death Camp survivors in a Displaced Persons (DP) camp in Germany, moves to New Jersey and becomes not only a Yankees fan, but a high school baseball All-Star. In college, after he leads his Freshman team in all categories, his father dies; he takes over the family, putting himself through Law School.
Fast Forward a decade or so: Joe - the Attorney - forgets to read the 'fine print' that says about the newly minted [with John Henry as owner] West Palm Beach Tropics Senior Professional Baseball League team, "... only former major leaguers over thirty-five show up."
Joe shows, stars, plays - to the Championship, with Dick Williams as Manager, and as team mates Rollie Fingers, Dave Kingman, Ron Washington, Mickey Rivers, Toby Harrah, Lee Lacy, Pete Broberg, Albery Pujols ... and Joe.
Wow!
