Workers at the Tulsa Oil Company are reluctant to join the Company's baseball team due to its previous unsuccessful seasons, and this is why they didn't participate in last 4 seasons. When George mentions, he wants to be in team for new season, his co-workers and friends Ricky, Reggie, Lou, Ty, Mike, Ernie, Pete, Warren, Sandy, Wesley, Sam, Nolan, Tristram, Hank, Roberto, Carl, Stan and Garry eagerly join the team. At the start they are loosers, nobody believes them, and they lost first two matches, it looks like another sparsely attended losing season, but everything has changed when they won another 5. They are becaming unstoppable and celebrating every victory in pub named Duke's. Their matches are sold out, the whole city supports and cheers them on. For Tulsa and all the citizens, these players are heroes who can finally break the curse and bring the first title in history to the Tulsa. They enjoy an undefeated season and earn a spot in the championship game, named Oil-State Bowl, against the Oklahoma City. Joe Wagner, boss of Tulsa Oil Company, makes a 4 million-dollar bet with Pontus Klingberg, owner of the Oklahoma City Company, that his team will win. With the score tied and bases loaded with two outs in the ninth inning, Wagner sends George on bat. George hits the ball and the ball flies out of the park. The team wins the title and George is a hero.
