But will the proud, arrogant players of the team be willing to take orders and tactics from a 12-year-old boy? In an attempt to get the players efforts into the game, he dedicates the season to his Grandfather, and vows to win the Championship with the Minnesota Twins. Is this enough to receive the trust and acceptance of the players, fans and critics of the sport?
