Kendall Robey has been an also-ran for the Washington Senators' baseball team. A last-place club with a few bright spots until the club hires a new manager, Dusty Warner. A winner his whole career and determined to keep it that way, he starts wheeling and dealing to make something of a dismal start to the 1966 season. Many additions including an untried rookie Vinnie Quinelli, the son of one of Dusty's former teammates, make things interesting to say the least. Dusty has Kendall and Vinnie room together and a friendship of nearly twenty years begins. Defeat brings sadness, and winning brings joy, and they experience a plethora of both.
