Terry Gannon Jr. was an All Star softball player until life threw her a couple curve balls: a baby, a lost college scholarship and a loser for a husband. After striking out on her own, Terry and her son Danny move in with her estranged father, Terry Sr. aka "The Cannon". The Cannon is an opinionated, beer-guzzling, ex-athlete who never quite made the cut as a single father or professional baseball player.

As hard as Terry tries to keep Danny away from the sports-driven lifestyle of her youth, Danny wants to play Little League. His stunning lack of baseball skills makes him the laughing stock of the baseball field and his grandfather’s living room. When Danny and a group of other athletically-challenged hopefuls fail to make the team, Danny’s disappointment forces Terry to face her past. So when a wealthy neighbor volunteers to finance a team for the rejected kids, Terry reluctantly offers to coach the team of misfits...

It begins and ends at Maggie Lawson for me. Other than Ms. Lawson, it's a new-ish take on a old premise. Which is considerably better than a re-imagining. I liked that Maggie's character seems to be a woman in charge -- not a woman who screams when she sees a spider and needs a man's help to do something about it. James Caan as a cranky dad? Perfect. I'll be checking this out.
