The document recounts a boy's experience falling in love with the 1964 Philadelphia Phillies baseball team as a 7-year-old. It describes how the Phillies got off to a strong start and held a sizable lead late in the season, only to collapse down the stretch and miss the World Series, deeply disappointing the boy. Though the Phillies would not succeed again for over a decade, the memories of that 1964 season have stayed with the boy into adulthood.
