This is a baseball story of two lads who grew up in the same small town. The world series between The Athletics and The Giants is just always how a story begins. On a train bound for Chicago, Kennedy the sports writer is having a sandwich in the buffet car when a big raw-bone youngster approaches his table and joins him. It's Dick Grimes from the Athletics and they get into a conversation about lucky breaks and the relationship between him and Speed Parker from The Giants who grew up in the same small town.
