Based on Piersall's autobiography, the film traces Piersall's rise from the sandlots of Waterbury, Connecticut, to the Boston Red Sox professional baseball team.
You probably know some of the baseball type dads portrayed by Karl Malden.

It's been a long, long time since I've seen the movie, but I seem to remember reading somewhere that the movie made Piersall's father look a lot worse than he really was. I could be wrong though. Your point still stands though that little league parents can be pretty whacko.

DL: "For those of you who didn't hear Mr. Piersall, he said he's been portrayed twice by a couple of fine actors."
