He asks for another one but unfortunately he doesn’t get it but Scotty wants to get the things right and for that purpose he steals his stepfather’s ball, which he uses to score his first home run and sadly the ball is lost. Then it dawns upon Scotty that he took his stepfathers ball without asking him and tells his teammates that he will ask for a ball since it had a name on it particularly a lady name called Babe Ruth.
