Except that he doesn’t end up making the team and she has a difficult decision to make. Does she console her son and comfort his obvious pain while maintaining her very anti-baseball stance? Or does she take a stand against the decision to cut him (and countless other children) by confronting the coaching staff with other parents? While Terry is right to not want Danny to burn out on something that he loves, especially by her hand, she can use her experiences with her father to know what not to do when allowing a child to pursue a passion, allowing her son to opportunity to play without forcing the issue. But now that he’s off the baseball team, how will he continue to play?

The series follows former softball star Terry Gannon, Jr. (Maggie Lawson) as she moves back home with her father Terry “The Cannon” Gannon, Sr. (James Caan) after her marriage didn”t work out. Although the financial support from him has been invaluable as she figures out the next course her life will take, Terry is having to keep her father from getting her son Danny (Griffin Gluck) involved in the same hyper-competitive sports-first lifestyle that burnt her out on the game she once loved. She doesn”t want him to grow up and face the same issues she”s faced due to her time in the batter”s box or grow to resent her in the same way she still holds a grudge against her father for pushing her too hard and not going to any of her college games.

The thing is, though, she might not have a choice in the matter once Danny gets rejected from the team after truly wanting to play the game. With a kind offer from a neighbor that could pool together the rest of the rejected kids to form a team of their own, Terry will have to decide just how much she”s willing to let her past guide her present and whether her bad memories of the game will be enough to deprive her son of the positive experiences she had due to her love of softball.
