Plot[edit]
Successful, arrogant baseball superstar Tommy 'Santa' Santorelli of the Los Angeles Dodgers is knocked unconscious by a wild pitch, and wakes to all of his childhood friends, in the year 1976. When he attempts to explain what's happened to his mother, she calls the doctor, with whom he quarrels. Eventually, his mother sends him to play baseball with his friends. The next day, Tommy tells his story to teammate Ryan, and later protects him from local bully E.J. Needman. After winning several games Tommy joins Needman's team; but ultimately returns to that of his friends, and wins the game for them. Upon his return to the present, he wakes up in the hospital being treated by an adult Q, and learns that instead of becoming an arrogant disloyal player, he has remained a Dodger his entire career. He has also married his girlfriend Judy and they have two children named Oliver and Heather. The biggest difference of all is that he stayed in communication with his old friends ever since this victory. Tommy then speaks to his mother's spirit, proud of who he has now become.
