When twelve year old Tommy Adimizzi catches a home run ball hit by the great Babe Ruth, he comes to believe the ball has magical and protective powers. The ball, dubbed the "Babe", becomes a lifesaving talisman for himself and others in this powerful coming of age tale. Starting from humble immigrant beginnings in Yonkers, NY and unraveling into a worldwide adventure across decades and three generations, Tommy wonders if the ball doesn't also possess an inherent danger for the person who carries it.
