There are a lot of things people said she couldn't do. Pitching a no hitter was one. Having an impeccable inning was another. Getting anywhere with her baseball career was the base of everything she was told she couldn't do. And she proved them all wrong. When she was a kid she'd taught herself how to do everything with her left hand, she had to. With her right wrist broken and locked away in a cast she wouldn't sit still without doing something to help her brothers baseball team. She learned how to throw with her left hand, pitch and bat. And then she became a switcher. Her brother James, who was older by ten minutes and forty two seconds (he would only spell it out), was the only person she had to prove herself to. Maybe her father. Then he went and got taken to the majors right out of high school and was sent to the Cubs to be their catcher. Fucking traitor.

What would you do if you were the 12 year-old new ace pitcher of a very small town American baseball team, you and your teammates go on in one magical year to represent your roots at the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, and you were much too embarrassed beyond mere words to see your own mother cheer you on as you take the big stage hundreds of miles away? This is Sooner's situation, and his story for the ages is Going to Williamsport, as he faces a mother suffering through acute paranoid psychosis, or just simply really crazy things, in the early years of deinstitutionalization of the mentally ill during the Eisenhower administration. As the awkward moments pile up, the dirty looks and misunderstandings multiply in town, and the psychotropic drugs and Demedication sessions gather endlessly without the option to "just put her away" anymore, the only child Sooner only sees his own embarrassment and severe contempt for a Semper Fi father who will not deny his marriage vows, nor his unbelievable love for his own son. Going to Williamsport matters more than anything to Sooner, but definitely not at the expense of seeing "her" in those stands. In his own very young words, he takes as much as he possibly can, and then makes incredibly clear in the clearest of places that he alone, with his team is going to Williamsport, and Dad isn't and certainly Mom isn't, either. Sooner's story plays out as a kid farther away from the far western Oklahoma Panhandle than he's ever been. Sooner rather than later, his decision to be separate and apart from Mom and Dad is rewarded in surprising ways, but to everyone's surprise, Sooner understands very quickly how his family coin truly has two sides that look surprisingly alike.
