Eight games into the 1935 season, Detroit Tigers catcher Mickey Cochrane is injured and done for the year. His backup is Arthur Graham, a 40-year-old rookie who has spent the last 22 years honing his skills in the Texas League.Fast forward to Detroit, Michigan 1980. Graham is now 85 years old. He sits on the bench in front of the church feeding the birds. One sunny morning in July, his day is interrupted by 12-year-old Lincoln. When Arthur discovers that Lincoln eats, sleeps, and dreams baseball, he tells the young man a story he will not soon forget. Lincoln sits fascinated as Arthur’s words take him back in time to the glory days of baseball. It is a time of legends. Greenberg, Gehrig, Cobb and Ruth. Lincoln comes back to the bench each day, excited to hear more. It is Arthur’s love for God and his passion for baseball that he imparts upon young Lincoln what it means to truly live.Arthur’s story is a faith-based journey that highlights perseverance, family values, and a loving God’s amazing grace. In the inspirational spirit of The Natural and For Love of the Game, The 40-year-old Rookie delivers a major league ending for the ages.
