In Cooperstown, a baseball pitcher who fell short of achieving his professional dreams is visited by the ghost of his former catcher. The catcher had reached levels of career success that the pitcher had always envied, fueling a sense of jealousy that lasted for years.
With the guidance of his former catcher's ghost, the pitcher embarks on an emotional journey through his past. He revisits key moments and relationships, gaining a new perspective on his life. Through this introspective journey, he overcomes his long-held jealousy and finds a new sense of fulfillment in his current situation.[4]
