Baseball is funny when you're inside the clubhouse, not in the stands watching the scoreboard. This movie knows that, breaking the game into nine innings of pure locker room chaos, live action bleeding into animation like memory itself can't decide what's real. It's less "sports movie" and more "a guy you know telling you the stories he's been saving for drinks after the game."

A real-life baseball star's memories of the professional game become a comedy film. Drawing on two books in which Hanshin Tigers player Takenori Emoto recalls his career, the movie mixes live action with animation to share funny stories from pro baseball. It is split into nine short tales, one for each of nine innings. Fans of sports comedy with an insider's view of the game will find plenty to enjoy.
