Blurb: 
Young Roy Tucker works hard to prove himself and gain the opportunity to pitch for the Brooklyn Dodgers. Just when he has proven himself, an accident permanently injures his pitching arm. Unable to continue playing in that position, he begins struggling anew as he attempts to come back as an outfielder. Through hard work and persistance, he claws his way back to some personal success only to discover that their is more to being a member of a team than his own success.
