Jim Morris is the son of a career Navy man, who moves the family from Hollywood, Florida to Big Lake, Texas, in order to maintain job security. Jim is shown to be a very skilled pitcher, though his father disapproves of Jim’s dream of making it to Major League Baseball. It is later mentioned that the town to which Jim’s family moved, Big Lake, has lost its love for baseball, preferring football instead.
