Rally Caps is a humorous, fun-filled baseball and camp story based on the authors’ experiences at Jewish sleepaway and day camps. Ten-year-old Jordan is injured in an unfortunate and frightening accident while trying out for the youth travel team. Recovery is difficult. 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. Rally Caps is now a feature film streaming on Amazon Prime starring Judd Hirsch, Amy Smart, Carson Minniear, and Coach Ballgame!
