With a Baseball tournament as the stage, a woman meets an odd stranger, a spirit, who is the man her father could have been, and who shows her what her life would have been if her unanswered prayers had been answered.
SYNOPSIS:
Sophie, 40, is a woman of character, and dedicated mother, who is trying desperately to balance the love of her father with his reckless life choices. Her father, Charlie, 65, ex-military, ex-corporate executive, ex-businessman, divorced and broke, has always been a man who "did the right thing" and often to the detriment of the financial well being of his family.
Charlie’s life has been turmoil but the one constant passion in his life has been baseball. It is baseball that keeps him sane and has given him pleasure, and he is the coach of Sophie's daughter, Jenny. Charlie has announced he has sold everything he has left and after the Cooperstown Baseball tournament he will be leaving on a tour of the country with no return date. Sophie has questioned her father’s life choices before, but in a dramatic confrontation with him she announces he has gone over the edge and she now questions whether he can be part of her children's lives and if he continues with this path he is not to return to her family.
While at the Cooperstown Dream Park tournament, Sophie is visited by Charles who has had a life strangely similar to her father's; both from Philly, both military, both love baseball. But as same as the two where once, they are polar opposites now.
Throughout the baseball game Sophie relives flashback moments of her life with her father that have shaped their lives. She recalls his sometime reckless willingness to intervene in dangerous situations to "do the right thing," and that critical path he took as a soldier that changed the course of his life. Charles recounts his very similar life until he also came to a crossroad, which Charles took the easy, opposite path, one that led to financial security, but to a life lonely and unfulfilled.
Cooperstown is a dramatic and heartwarming story of a woman seeing a father through new eyes; it is a story of respect and honor, and the love of the game of baseball and of life.
