When water magnate (and owner of the minor league Springfield WaterDogs) Reynolds Beckert learns he has a short time to live, his dream of extending the reach of baseball becomes a holy mission. Determined to find the next Clemente in a place like Fiji, he organizes a tournament with the largest purse in history and a lottery which will make some lucky fans billionaires.

His innocent aim - to share the game he loves with the whole world - goes horribly wrong when it is threatened by ninjas, flaming flamingos, anti-baseball protests, echo clones and killer cellphones. Greed and nationalist zeal take the inaugural Earth Baseball Tourney - and humanity - to the apocalyptic brink.

A dark comedy about baseballs globalization and technology-run-amok, The Earth Baseball Tourney: An Invitational to Disaster is an ode to the greatest game ever devised. The lyrical tale reminds fans of their first game with their grandfather, aromas of grilled onions and fresh-cut grass, and that distinctive crack of the bat.
