Ever since his first childhood visit to Fenway Park,
easygoing schoolteacher Ben (Jimmy Fallon) has been in love with the Boston Red
Sox.
When he meets a successful workaholic named Lindsey Meeks (Drew Barrymore),
he warns her that being such an avid fan has been a problem in his past
relationships.
On the brink of turning 30, Lindsey is eager to make what seems
like an otherwise promising romance work, and she agrees to go with Ben to
opening day (of the eventful 2004 season when the Red Sox won the World Series
for the first time in 86 years).
As baseball season proceeds, the truly
obsessive nature of Ben’s hobby is revealed, and a love triangle is set up in
which baseball plays the role of the other woman.
