Yankee Irving (
Jake T. Austin) is a dedicated baseball fan who loves visiting his dad, Stanley (
Mandy Patinkin) at his job at Yankee Stadium. When Babe Ruth's (Brian Dennehy) bat goes missing from the locker room on the eve of the 1932 World Series on Stanley's shift, he ends up getting fired. Yankee makes a connection between the person he saw in the locker room, Lefty Maginnis (
William H. Macy), and the missing bat (voiced by (
Whoopi Goldberg). With his new friend, wise-cracking baseball Screwie (
Rob Reiner), Yankee sets off to find and return the missing bat. Helping Yankee on his quest is energetic tomboy Marti (
Raven Symone). And Yankee's hard-working mom, Emily (Dana Reeve), believes in her family and looks after them with loving care.
