Season 1:
Manager Joe Rohner, like his players on the minor-league Bay City (California) Bluebirds, dreams of baseball's big leagues; team owner Ray Holtz dreams of profits; and the lonely banker's wife Sunny dreams of Rohner. In this debut episode, two players and their wives finds that pressures on the field spill over into the domestic life they share under the same roof.
On Ozzie People Appreciation Day, the slugger strikes out and later is ""caught stealing."" Meanwhile, Rohner and Jacoby rebound after losing in love.
Potential superstar St. Marie signs with a high-powered agent, spawning resentment in French; Rohner balks at going into business with Hayward; Jacoby wants to be not only Holtz's catcher but his son-in-law as well; pitcher Mickey Wagner returns to the bluebirds after a cup of coffee in the majors.
The father-son reunion is anything but joyous for Vic and Moe Kreskey; Hayward becomes even more insistent about his business proposal and more perplexed by Rohner's resistance; Padillo, Scott, and Jacoby pay a solemn final tribute to a fallen colleague.
Rocky tries to improve his vision in an attempt to make him a stronger hitter, but his new glasses prove to be a distraction.
