It's been raining in Moundville for twenty-two years. When the sun miraculously comes out, twelve-year-old baseball lover Roy assembles a scrappy team, including the surly and mysterious foster kid Roy's father invited into their home. As the "Mudville Nine" resurrect the soaked baseball field, they bring life to a whole town. Through his cast of memorable characters, Scaletta's baseball enthusiasm shines.
