Take Your Base (Scrappers) (1999)

JEREMY LIM: CENTER FIELD Jeremy is quiet, a loner, and the smallest member of the Scrappers. Sometimes it seems like the only thing his teammates think he's good for is getting a base on balls. If only he could get the big hit, or make the spectacular play, maybe they'd notice him. The trouble is, every time Jeremy tries to be the hero, he messes up. Now his reckless attempt to steal second in a key game may have cost the Scrappers their chance at the championship. How can Jeremy win his teammates' respect -- and more importantly, their friendship?
