loves baseball and dreams of pitching for his team. He's determined to
keep the team together despite losing their manager and some key players.
He convinces his athletic, college-age cousin Michelle (Mike for short)
to become the team manager. She tells the boys the story of Andy Kirk,
a boy who fell to his death from a tree while watching his older brother
play ball on that very field years before. Now it seems the ghost of Andy
Kirk is leaving the team insightful messages in the dirt. Should the team
follow his suggestions? Are the messages really left by a ghost?
