A
beautiful, tough and gifted athlete, Ginny Baker (Kylie Bunbury, "Under
The Dome") is vaulted into instant fame when she’s called up by the San
Diego Padres to make her Major League debut. Like any rookie, Ginny must prove
herself to her teammates. Foremost among them is Mike Lawson (Mark-Paul
Gosselaar, "Franklin & Bash"), the team’s ruggedly handsome star
catcher. There’s instant chemistry between them, although neither dares admit
it. After all, Mike is captain of the team and a few of his players don’t even
want Ginny on the field. One of the players watching Ginny’s back is center
fielder Blip Sanders (Mo McRae, "Sons of Anarchy"), an old friend
from the minor leagues. Guiding her is her agent/confidante Amelia Slater (Ali
Larter, "Heroes"). Amelia saw Ginny’s star potential early on and
left her previous job as a Hollywood publicist to concentrate on the young
phenom. Although groomed for this moment by her demanding father, Bill Baker (guest
star Michael Beach, "Sons of Anarchy"), the end of Ginny’s improbable
journey is the beginning of an almost impossible one: representing her gender
as she embarks on a successful baseball career under the glare of the white-hot
media spotlight. It’s a goal hard enough for anyone to achieve – except this
player is also a woman, who happens to be the most important historical figure in
sports since Jackie Robinson. This season, Ginny Baker will be the other woman
trying to break into one of the oldest, most exclusive men’s clubs in the
country.
