After leaving friend Joe Acito's funeral, Miller drives to a baseball field where the two played a game together in 1963. This game was a story Joe liked to recount about a rough day he had pitching and how he had to dig deep to find the moxie needed to try and get himself out of an inning. The story tells the tale with humor and heart. It speaks about the spirit of baseball and brings to life the players who love the game. Most of all it celebrates the joy of life, explored through Joe Acito's day on the mound.
