The story

After the New York Yankees' latest prospect Tommy Lacy suffers a humiliating bout of stage fright in his debut for the team, scout Al Percolo, who discovered Tommy, is punished by being sent to the Mexican countryside to look for his next find. Al's efforts are fruitless until he encounters Steve Nebraska, a young American with a consistent 100+ MPH fastball and a perfect batting average. The childlike Steve immediately agrees to join the Yankees when Al asks him, but when Al calls the team's general manager Ron Wilson to report his find, he is fired and told not to return.
