Deadball

Jerry Sanchez, a former major league baseball player and sports agent, has hit rock bottom. He's a lawyer living in Daytona Beach, Florida representing hookers and other folks on the lower level of the food chain when Mickey Seaver, a superstar major league baseball player with the New York Urbs, knocks on his door. Jerry and Mickey's deceased father, Tony, were best friends and Jerry owes a debt to Tony. Mickey is facing a murder charge, accused of killing one of his teammates and he wants Jerry to represent him. Jerry tries to convince Mickey that he doesn't have the talent or the experience to go up against New York's finest prosecutors but Mickey won't listen. He wants Jerry. So Jerry, with no experience trying a murder case, goes up against the best in a New York City courtroom with the whole world watching.
