Bull Durham for the suburbs. Diner meets softball, as if those characters in Diner have grown much older and now have kids. The main hero of the story views the team as his last bastion of male-bonding and a sort of refuge, as he is torn between his family commitments, loyalty to his friends, and fear ofleading a life just like his working class father. This could be a rather wry and amusing slice-of-life ensemble film.
