Faced with the collapse of his son’s Little League program–consisting mostly of Latino kids in the largely Asian suburb of Monterey Park, California–Jesse Katz finds himself thrust into the role of baseball commissioner for La Loma Park. While Jesse soothes egos, brokers disputes, chases down delinquent coaches and missing equipment, he forms unlikely alliances, commits unanticipated errors and receives the gift of unexpected wisdom. But there’s no less drama in Jesse’s complicated personal life as he grapples with a stepson who seems destined for trouble and comforts his mother when she’s stricken with cancer. Through it all, Jesse’s emotional mainstay is his beloved son, Max. Over nine springs and summers with Max at La Loma, Jesse learns nothing less than what it takes to be a father, a son, a husband, a coach, and, ultimately, a man. Tonight at 7PM.
