THE SLUGGER'S WIFE

When a young power-hitting baseball player falls in love with a beautiful rock singer, it seems like the perfect combination of two of America's favorite pastimes... or is it? Michael O'Keefe stars as Darryl Porter, an outfielder for the Atlanta Braves whose career is altered radically for the better when rock singer Debby Palmer (Rebecca De Mornay) enters his life and inspires him to greatness. But all is not rosy, as Debby finds that the more time she spends as "the slugger's wife," the more she misses her other true love - her music. Debby, torn between her love for Darryl and her career, decides to return to the stage. Her decision causes Darryl to fall into a batting slump that threatens the Braves' change at winning the pennant and also threatens their marriage.
