 Eddie had always dreamed of being in the dugout with the New York Yankees, but he never imagined that the trail that would lead him there would start with Miss Toliver s lesson on statistics. Eddie decides to apply his new found knowledge to boost hot dog sales for his friend Gus (Jerry Stiller), who presents Eddie with a batting glove left by none other than the Yankees  Wade Boggs. Aunt Rosa believes that the glove may just be what the batter needs to get out of his slump, and earns a chance to give it to him when she outsmarts a slick sports radio personality (Robert Klein) to win admission to the Yankees  dugout. While viewers go behind the scoreboard at Yankee stadium to meet the people who make careers out of baseball statistics, Aunt Rosa and Eddie try to stage a ninth-inning recovery for their losing team.
