Summary

"Documents the transformation of a group of musicians, struggling screenwriters, and wannabe actors into a competitive band of hardballers.... [A]s they stumbled into their thirties, the blithe pursuit of self-destruction had simply become exhausting to these battle-scarred denizens of the L.A. counterculture.... The idea of fielding a baseball team to compete in a hard-knocks amateur league seemed merely the latest in a string of half-hearted stabs at restoring order to their ragged lives. But this escapade was different. When these men donned their team uniforms, the old obsessions started to fade and something incredible began to happen."--Front flap of jacket
