When Barry bonds set the single season home-run record in 2001, the scene at the stadium was pandemonium. Most people celebrated with the chant "Barry!-Barry!-Barry!". But a small group of fans in the right field bleachers were caught up in something very different a battle for the ball. Ownership of the record setting ball, which went for over a million dollars at auction was settled in court a year later. In a judgment riddled with words like "attacked"," blitzed",and "pummeled", it was ruled that the money for the ball be split between the person who originally caught the ball and the person who ended up with possession of it.
Vin(Dean Negri), Phil(John Sollitto), Sykes(lou Mastantouno),and Ralph(Artie Ray)have all gone in on tickets to a Mets game where Barry Bonds' record has a chance too be broken, and they're sitting in the home-run zone! What was originally supposed to be to be a get together on a Friday night watching the game before their trip to Shea on Saturday, turns into a fight over baseball, steroids, friendships, and an imaginary home-run ball. As history approaches in a controversial fashion friendships are tested and secrets come out. In a world where records are followed by an asterisk and history has a price tag, is any man ever what he seems? Or are records meant to be broken at any cost? |
