Gil Renard (Robert De Niro), a struggling knife salesman, is a temperamental divorcé who has been neglecting his responsibilities, namely his young son and his job which he is on the verge of losing due to poor sales. Gil takes Rayburn's son to a baseball field and hides him there. He contacts Rayburn to make one demand: hit a home run in the upcoming game, dedicating it to Gil, "a true fan", or he will kill Rayburn's son, after telling Rayburn that life can be unfair sometimes. With the Police on high alert, Gil enters the Giants' stadium in the midst of an on-and-off thunderstorm. Rayburn struggles with his emotions while at bat. After several pitches, he finally hits the ball deep into the outfield but not over the fence. Rayburn attempts to score an inside-the-park home run. He is called out, even though he is obviously safe. Rayburn begins to argue with the umpire, who turns out to be Gil in disguise.
