Soon Billy realizes the ball is magic, that it talks out loud and can help him become a better player and person. With a mysterious connection to one of the most historic Major League players ever, the ball--which Billy has named \"Buddy''-- also gives guidance to a pair of Billy's troubled teammates in separate stories.
