Complete story — includes the ending

After winning a baseball game, Greg's ego runs amok after a compliment from Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Don Drysdale. When Greg decides to dedicate his whole life to the sport and forgoes any thoughts of college, even going as far as to contemplate dropping out of high school, Mike invites Drysdale over to talk about the drawbacks of life on the road, making sure Greg overhears, but this backfires as Greg accepts all potential drawbacks, still convinced professional baseball is his calling. However, Greg is sobered back to reality following a disastrous twelve-run first inning and subsequent benching in a Pony League game. Mike convinces him to just have baseball be part of his life, and not his whole life for now.
