Terry Gannon Jr. was an All Star softball player until life threw her a few curve balls -- a baby, a lost college scholarship and a loser for a husband. After striking out on her own, Terry and her son, Danny, move in with her estranged father, Terry Sr., aka "The Cannon". The Cannon is an opinionated, beer-guzzling, ex-athlete who never quite made the cut either as a single father or professional baseball player. As hard as Terry tries to keep Danny away from the sports-driven lifestyle of her youth, Tommy wants to play Little League. His stunning lack of baseball skills (he doesn't even know which hand the mitt goes on) makes him the laughing stock of the baseball field and of his grandfather's living room. When Danny and a group of other athletically-challenged hopefuls fail to make the team, Danny's disappointment forces Terry to face her past. So when a wealthy neighbor volunteers to finance a team for the rejected kids, Terry reluctantly offers to coach the team of misfits.
A divorced single mom and former softball all-star decides to coach her son's baseball team of misfits after they're rejected by the local Little League hierarchy, and gets help from her grizzled, beer-guzzling father, a once-promising ballplayer with whom she's forced to live after being estranged for years.
Terry looks for a job so she can move out of her father's house. Meanwhile, the Cannon tries to cure the Angles of their fear of getting hit by a pitched ball by taking them to a prison for some unconventional instruction from the warden; and a bedroom and bathroom in the Cannon's house go mysteriously unused.
Terry wonders if her dad had a girlfriend he might be more pleasant to be around and nicer to the team. Meanwhile, Danny goes on a mission to tell Vanessa how he feels about her.
Danny gets advice on girls from the Cannon, who tells him that bad boys have better luck with women. Meanwhile, Terry has a girls' night out with Lulu.
Terry tries dating again, but the Cannon and Dick team up to sabotage her new relationship with a guy she likes. Meanwhile, the Cannon learns that Danny has been helping other kids cheat on tests.
Danny goes trick-or-treating with the Angles, but first must devise a plan to outsmart the bullies who are scaring his teammates into submission. Meanwhile, the Cannon shows his competitive side during a visit to a cemetery; and Lulu treats Terry to an adult Halloween.
Terry looks out for Dudley when his parents forget to pick him up from practice, and she learns that they're getting a divorce. Meanwhile, the Cannon and Dick attend sensitivity training after an incident at an Angles practice.
Danny gets teased after being hit by a pitch, so the Cannon trains the Angles like a military unit to toughen them up and help his grandson redeem himself in a paintball game. Meanwhile, Terry and Lulu plan a birthday party together, which provides a unique test for their friendship.
Terry runs against Dick for league president; the Cannon takes Danny to a golf course to teach him a lesson in leadership.
