- Joe Pepitone, a working class kid from the Brooklyn,
  sets his sights high for fame and success in baseball.
  This young baseball prodigy’s talents take him to the top of the world. Overcoming an abusive father and a near fatal shooting, he becomes a New York Yankee star, winning a World Series his rookie year.
  But the lure of fame was too much of a temptation
  for his inner demons and Joe was dragged so far down, he hit rock bottom. Striking out at every turn, Joe threw it all away on drugs, women and wise guys.
  This true story tells the tale of his difficult journey and how after he loses it all, he returns to the one place he calls home and the one man who can help him turn it all around. How many strikes can one player take?
