There's more to life than what you're lit.

Take a chance and face the wind.

Open road and a road that's hit. Brand new life around the bend.

There were times I lost a dream or two.

Found a trail.

At the end was you.

There's a path we take and a path not taken. The choice is up to you, my

The night's long, but you might await a brand new life, a brand new life, a

brand new life around the bend.

There. How's that?

Great. It's too short.

Dad, you didn't even look.

I don't have to. I know the seamstress.

Oh,

is it moose season already?

In here, Mom!

Hi, everybody. Guess what? I've got a... Surprise! Hey, Tony!

Josh! Josh! What do you say, buddy? Josh Brady!

Do you know who that is?

Josh Brady?

Oh, no. He's only the best second baseman that ever played in the majors.

Oh, next to you, Dad.

Dad, don't tell me this is your little girl, huh?

She's a beauty, isn't she?

She sure is.

Boy, she must have her mother's look, huh?

Yeah, but I got my dad's slide into second.

You can work on that.

Josh,

Josh. This is my son, Jonathan.

Hi. And my mother, Mona Robinson.

Hello. Hello.

Very nice to meet you.

Why is it you never bring home surprises like this for me?

Isn't this fun?

It's just like this is your life. Yeah, yeah. Hey, wait a minute. Josh, what are

you doing? How did you two... Angela.

You hanging out in singles, boss?

The agency just hired Josh to be the national spokesman for Scamp Aftershave.

Yeah, look, if you want to pick up a tramp, use Scamp.

Let's leave the slogans to Angela, huh?

It's going to be fabulous. We're doing a total media blitz. Yeah, well, that's

good because this won't be the first time I see this guy totally blitzed.

Let's see, let's see. There was St. Louis and Chicago.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And don't forget Atlanta.

I wouldn't. Ooh,

I couldn't.

What happened there, Dad?

I forget.

Tony, Tony, is this the guy that was with you and the triplets from Budapest?

Copenhagen. So, Tony, you play any ball anymore?

Nah, just a little sandlot stuff.

And he coaches my softball team.

Yeah, they were third. in the league last year. Hey, that's great.

You know, I coach a softball team myself back home. We won our division.

So, Josh, what are you saying?

I'm not saying anything.

You're not saying anything?

I think you're saying that you think you're a better coach than me now. Oh,

Tony, don't be so competitive.

Josh didn't mean he was a better coach.

Well, that's what it sounded like to me.

Even if I am, there's no way to prove it.

You're darn right.

How about a week from next Saturday? You got it. All right, you get it. What are

you talking about? Talking about a little pick -up game between Josh and

Oh, I think that's disgusting.

You're going to have a contest to see who can pick up the most women?

No, Angela.

Baseball. You put together a team.

Non -pros, of course. Of course. And, uh, Tony, I think we ought to make this

-ed. Hey, that's a good idea, Josh. I'll tell you what. Three women on each

team. Non -pros, of course.

Okay, guys, you'll each have a week to whip your team into shape, and then may

the best coach win.

That's you, Dad. Don't worry.

Tony, I'm sorry I was a little rusty out there today.

It's all right, Dr.

Ferguson. I mean, your reflexes are probably dull from all those years of

surgery.

Tony, I guess I should relax. I mean, after all, it's only a game.

Don't you ever say that.

Oh, hi, you two.

Hello, Angela.

Yeah, hi.

All right, Doc, look.

Let's go over a couple of them signs I showed you, okay?

All right, now, what does this mean?

Go on. All right, what's this now? Ready?

Steel. Two foot two, Doc. All right.

All right, now, what's this one now?

You can't find your wallet.

No, Angela, it's hit and run.

Oh, well, wouldn't this be better for hit and run?

Yeah, if we were playing Helen Keller.

I gotta go, Tony. Now, wait a minute, Doc, wait a minute.

We gotta sit here and think who's gonna be the other girl on our team. We need

another woman. Come on, think.

Angela, Angela, Angela, could you keep it down? We're trying to think of

woman here.

What about me?

What about you?

I could play on your team.

You?

What do you think, Dr. Ferguson?

Oh, yeah, sure.

All for one and one for all.

Well, I gotta be going, Tony.

Tony, come on. Give me a chance.

Nobody ever let me play when I was a kid.

Well, then you're probably used to it by now.

Tony, wait. Wait a minute.

Now, I know I'm not the most coordinated person in the world, but if somebody

took the time to coach me, I could come through. I know I could.

Pardon.

You're not a good enough coach. I guess I'd just go through the rest of my life

never knowing what it was like to be a part of a team.

Thanks a lot, Angela.

Thank you.

Angela, this is a very important game to me. And I don't think you like

baseball. You know, we play it in the dirt. And you get all sweaty. And those

hats, they leave weird dents in your hair.

I guess you know best.

All right, you can play.

Well, if you really need me.

Wait, Tony, I think you gave me the wrong glove. This is left -handed.

No, Angela, this goes on your left hand. You throw with your right and you catch

with your left. Oh, I see that. I guess that keeps the game moving.

You know baseball. Hurry, hurry, hurry.

Right. Okay, I'll tell you what.

Let's start a little batting practice. Let me see your stance.

Let me see your stance.

bat. Take the bat and get ready to hit. Come on.

That's a good start. That's a good start. I mean, but you're trying to hit

softball, not a burglar.

That's good.

Uh, Andrew's going to take some batting practice.

Mom's batting? Yeah, yeah. And I'll tell you what, you can do me a favor. Go

down the end of the driveway and shag some ball for her. Goes on the left

sweetheart.

Okay. But I'll need my book, too.

It might be a long time before she hits one.

Hey, Sam, do me a favor. You pitch so I can get a load of Angela's swing.

Dad, do you think this is a good idea? I mean, she might break a window at the

Hayburns. The Hayburns? All the way across the street?

Drive her up. Come on, let's go.

Oh, I guess that would be me.

Yeah. Okay, here we go. You ready?

Pitch it in, Sam. Here we go. Hey.

No.

Okay, okay.

Take it easy.

Relax.

Concentrate.

Okay? High on the bull.

Here we go. All right. Here we go, Sam. Hey!

Let's go, baby. Here we go. Sam,

could you throw that a little slower?

She could, Angela. She could, but then we'd have to call this bowling. Here we

go. Hey!

All right. Hey!

Here we go now.

Oh!

I wasn't ready.

All right. Now look. Now look. Take it easy.

Relax.

Nobody's putting any pressure on you, right?

Would you hit this ball?

Would you hit it, please?

I'm going to do this all night. My arm's getting tired.

Yeah, and it's getting too dark to read out here.

Tony, Tony, maybe we should just call it a day.

No, no.

We're not quitting until you hit this ball.

Now, I told you, it's easy. You keep your eye on the ball.

Right? You shift your weight forward and you follow. But with your body, it's so

simple. Why can't you do it? Because you're making me nervous.

I'm making you nervous? Yes.

You're making me a little nervous, too. Now, look, you want to play on my team?

You're going to learn to hit. Well, maybe I shouldn't be on your team.

Maybe that's the solution. Oh, well, maybe it is the solution. Oh, what is

huh? A little dissension in the dugout? Hey, hey, hey, Josh, stay out of this,

please. It's between me and the slugger.

He doesn't think I can learn to hit.

Oh, heck, anybody can learn to hit a ball with the right coaching.

Here, let me show you how, huh?

Look. Come here.

Just hold it up like this. Okay.

There you go.

Now keep your eye on the ball.

Move that weight forward and follow through with the body.

Why didn't you tell me that?

I did.

Well, it's all in the technique, huh?

Come on, Sam, toss one in here, huh?

Never. Never.

Oh! Oh!

Oh! Did you see it? Did you see it? Did you see it? Did you see that go?

I noticed.

We better get inside before the sonic boom hits.

Hey, Angela, if you're not going to play on Tony's team, maybe you'd like to

come play on mine.

Well, yes, I think I'd like that just fine. Now, wait a minute. Hey, that'll

great. That'll be great, because then you can teach me about this advertising

stuff, and I can teach you how to swing.

A bat.

Oh, good.

That's great. You got rid of Angela.

Yeah, it's great.

What kind of pitch was that, Sam? You hung a meatball right over the middle of

the plate. Oh, I'd like that.

Okay,

peace. Let's get this show on the road.

Come on. Ready?

One, two, three.

Well, I must say, Angela, you look like a real jock in your new uniform.

Thanks. You know, Tony, it feels kind of strange.

Well, maybe if you didn't tuck in your shirt so tight.

No, I mean, it feels kind of strange for us to be on opposite sides.

Ah, yeah, well, look.

I'm sorry that I was so rough on you in the backyard there. I got carried away.

I'll tell you what. Let's make a pact that no matter who wins today, we'll

be friends, okay?

You got it. I swear.

You're a

good kid.

I'll get you now. I'll get you.

Oh!

Hey,

Tony!

What? What are you doing? Doc, why aren't you dressed? You're late. Listen,

listen, Tony, I have emergency surgery, a bypass.

I could be there all day.

Well, can't you wait, Doc?

I can, but I'm not so sure about the patient.

Hey, yeah, you're right. I mean, a guy's life is much more important than his

basement. How old is he?

I'm really sorry.

Good luck out there. I hope you kill him. Yeah.

You too.

Thanks.

Ooh, tough luck, huh, Tom?

Where are you going to find another player?

Don't worry about it, Josh.

Unless my grandmother. She could beat you without a new hip.

Where am I going to find another guy?

Hey. Hey, guys. Either of you play ball?

Chess is my game.

Checkmate.

Well, I'm free now.

Can I play second base?

I don't know. You know, that throw to first is tough.

If I were you, I'd give him a shot.

What are you, some kind of manager or something?

Off and on.

All right, come on down, pal. I'll give you a chance.

All right.

Hey, how you doing? Good, good.

What did you say your name was?

Steve. Ah, good. Hey, Steve, you're in great shape. What do you do?

I'm a musician.

Yeah. Sax.

All right, guys, let's hit the field. Let's go. Hey, yeah.

Come on, man. There we go.

Yeah.

Hey, babe. Ho.

Ho. Where do you want me to stand?

How about right here, huh?

What?

Look, I want you to rest now so you'll be fresh later.

You'll be my little secret weapon, huh?

Okay. All right, that a girl. Hey.

Hi,

kids.

Mind if I sit here?

Oh, sorry, that seat's saved.

Oh, yeah.

Is this seat taken?

I know, season ticket holder, right?

Don't tell me you're saving this for a Boy Scouts group.

If they ever turn this park around, I'll be in the front row.

Are you all right? I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm just a little tired.

Who's up?

I don't know, but I hope it's that girl.

All right.

She looks like an easy out.

Is it time to use your secret weapon yet? No, not just yet. Oh, please.

Look, Angela, there's two men out.

Now, if you went up there and struck out, we'd lose this game.

Sit down.

Oh. I see, well, maybe I better not play at all.

Oh, excuse me.

What did I just hear?

We said everybody's got to play, Josh.

Oh, no, Tony, you don't understand. I could lose the game, and then I'd be so

humiliated. Oh, I'm very sorry, Angela, but rules are rules, Josh.

She's got to hit.

Well, thank you.

Oh, Angela, a word of advice?

Yes, Mother, anything.

Don't blow it.

Who's up?

My mom, and she's really bad.

Well, maybe you can trade her.

Can you do that?

Well, Steinbrenner's always working.

Strike two.

Time, time, time.

Look, Angela.

That's two strikes, huh? Now, Angela, I don't care if you strike out, but you

are not going down looking, huh? What?

If that ball comes over the plate this time, you swing at it, okay?

Okay. All right.

Let's play ball!

Congratulations.

Yeah, thanks. Looks like your strategy backfired, huh?

Yeah, I guess you'll always be one up on me, Josh. Yeah.

Angela!

Hey, Angela, I knew you could do that. Sure you did.

Oh, I'm sorry.

No, it's all right. It's all right. Hey, it's your big moment in the sun. How

does it feel?

Truthfully, it feels wonderful. All right, mother. Go enjoy it. Good hit.

hit. Okay, thanks.

Thanks a lot.

It is really easy when you know how.

Let me, yeah.

Oh, you hold the bat. Right. Keep your eye on the ball.

Shift your weight forward and follow through with your butt.

I know you can do it.

a lot, coach.

I think I hear my mother calling.

Angela,

I think we're in big trouble.

The Haverns? You wish.

Angela! Angela!

Did you lose this?

I don't know. Where did you find it?

In the front seat of my van.

I think I hear my mother calling.
