A wounded war on terror veteran tries to regain his professional baseball career. With the help of a girl who loves him, a former major league player-mentor and an apparition, he discovers his real handicap is PTSD, a racist father and his un-forgiveness.

SYNOPSIS:

Once in a generation, an extraordinary high school athlete rises above all others. We all know who they are. When we mentioned their names, there is instant recognition. Mike Trout, Nolan Ryan, Willie Mays, Derek Jeter, Randy Johnson, Jackie Robinson, Hank Aaron and many others. The list could go on and on.

Whether it is through arrogance, self-centeredness or some other character flaw, for some egotistical athletes the dark side sometimes takes over. They do not achieve the greatness of their full potential. Their names are lost in history.

Such an athlete is Breck Jennkins; so much promise, so much potential. Breck, headed to professional baseball makes a poor choice. As a result, he is accused of second-degree murder. His attorney negotiates a plea; military service or faces the whims of a jury. Not wanting to risk what a jury might decide, he joins the Marines. He matures into a selfless leader, which culminates when he becomes a hero in battle. However, it comes at a cost. He is wounded and as a result, his leg below the knee is amputated.

In his recovery, he takes on the challenge to return to his professional baseball career and become the first position player in professional baseball with a prosthetic leg.

However, on his journey, he finds his real handicap is PTSD, a racist father, and his own narcissism. Through his struggles, he learns valuable lessons along the way from a mentor, apparition and a good girlfriend who loves him.

I believe this is a story that needs to be told in a way that only top-flight directors can envision. If done correctly, it has an ending that will be talked about for years.
