The story

In Brooklyn, New York in 1969, four boys approach Minifield "Bleek" Gilliam's Brownstone apartment and ask him to play baseball with them. His mother Lillian insists that he continue his trumpet lesson, greatly annoying him, but his father "Big Stop" fears that Bleek will become a sissy, and a family argument ensues. Bleek resumes practicing, and his friends depart.
