An estranged father and son come together over their love for baseball during the 1978 season when the Father is convinced the Boston Red Sox will finally win the World Series.
SUMMARY
Set in 1978 - TED FULLAKER (mid 30’s) is now a struggling writer, a.k.a. a long-haired somewhat famous peanut vendor. Ted finds out that his estranged dad, MARTY, has lung cancer via a call from the hospital. Having not spoken in a few years, Marty (a die-hard Red Sox fan), who is also a failed writer, tells Ted (a die-hard Yankees fan) he wants to write a book about his life before it ends. More importantly, Marty tells Ted that he feels this is the Red Sox’s year and as long as they’re up, he plans 'not to die until the Red Sox win the pennant.
Ted and Marty head off on a road trip to Boston but can't find the stadium and end up listening to the game in the car… where Bucky Dent hits the game winning home run for the Yankees, demoralizing Marty and Ted. Years later, Ted now married, visits Marty's grave with the book that Marty started and Ted finished (now published), and a number of newspapers declaring the Red Sox finally winners of the World Series in 2004 for real.
