At sum­mer camp, he strug­gles to con­quer his anx­i­ety and fear in order to return to his beloved game of base­ball. He forms a friend­ship with a deaf Ital­ian boy, Luca, who wears a cochlear implant. Luca’s com­pelling pos­i­tive Any­thing is Pos­si­ble” atti­tude, along with the inspi­ra­tion he draws from his idol, Hall of Famer Cal Rip­ken Jr., gives Jor­dan the courage to return to base­ball with a pas­sion. Find out what hap­pens as ral­ly caps” are raised in the bot­tom of the final inning in the biggest game of Jordan’s life.
