01 / THE STORY
An aging Atlanta Braves baseball scout, Gus Lobel, is given one last assignment to prove his value to the organization, who views him as unable to adapt to changes within the game. His boss and friend Pete does not want to see him let go, but he must contend with an ambitious junior executive, Philip, who is trying to get a promotion to the team's general manager post and wants Gus fired as an obstacle to his own baseball philosophy and methods.
