Cody Parker is the new kid in school. He's overweight, he's scared, and he hates his new life in Dullsville, Maryland, aka Baltimore, where he's a target - okay, a big target - for brutal teasing. But he loves baseball. And despite his size, he plays third base like a dream. Too bad he's competing for the starting job on the Orioles of the Dulaney Babe Ruth League against budding hoodlum Dante Rizzo, who vows to squeeze Cody's head like a grape if he beats him out.
