The Kid is a scrawny member of the Credible Hulks baseball team. The Hulks only have The Professor's cobbled-together ball. Until one day, Leg's little sister Tag Along shows up, bringing a real baseball. This ball belonged to Tag-Along's grandfather, the home run king of San Juan, who played in the big time Puerto Rican Leagues.

But the very first time they use the real baseball in a match disaster strikes when the ball goes straight into a sewer grating where the street used to be. What follows is a magical adventure to return home safely with the baseball.
