The producing team of Davy Stone and John Meier took the two lead roles in One Hit From Home. Davy Stone plays a washed up ballplayer whose career took a nosedive after his parents were killed in a car crash. Meier who was 31 when the film was made is sadly way too old for the part of a young college baseball prodigy. In fact the only star for the Arizona State University team where Stone has returned to take a job as coach.

Both of these people and the team in general need a lot of motivation. Meier is dealing with an alcoholic father who can't cope with the death of his wife. Both of their inabilities to deal with family tragedy is the bond they share.

It's also the basis of the Christian underpinning of this sports drama. It is a Christian film but it is also suitable for mainstream audiences and has a good message to it about you never know what life will bring you around the next corner, good or bad.
