In 2004, successful, but arrogant, baseball superstar Tommy "Santa" Santorelli of the Los Angeles Dodgers is knocked unconscious by a wild pitch after being blinded by a mistakenly launched fireworks display.

Tommy joins Needman's team, but ultimately returns to that of his friends, and wins the game for them, saving the Sandlot.

Upon his return to the present, he wakes up in the hospital being treated by Q who has become a doctor, and learns that instead of becoming an arrogant and disloyal player, he has remained loyal to the Dodgers his entire career.

The movie ends with Benny Rodriguez explaining that Tommy had turned down a lot of money offers from teams over the years and remained a Dodger.

Heather Boerner of Common Sense Media gave the film four out of five stars, writing: "If you mixed Back to the Future with A Christmas Carol and sprinkled in a liberal dose of baseball fandom, you'd end up with this sweet, fun baseball movie that entertains while it instructs".
