A Mile In His Shoes is based on the critically acclaimed book written by Frank Nappi. A heartfelt story about Mickey Tussler (played by Luke Schroder), a 17 year old farm boy with Asperger’s Syndrome and an amazing fast ball who is recruited into a minor league baseball team. The manager Murph, is convinced Mickey is gifted, but his Asperger’s keeps him isolated in a world he doesn’t understand. Caught between an over-protective father, the everyday life on the farm and the desire to be a part of a team; Mickey turns to his gift and the amazing support of his teammates and is given the opportunity of a lifetime. Along the way Mickey teaches those around him a few lessons of their own that show them how amazing life can be if you just believe.
