After winning several games Tommy joins Needman's team; but ultimately returns to that of his friends, and wins the game for them. Upon his return to the present, he wakes up in the hospital being treated by an adult Q, and learns that instead of becoming an arrogant disloyal player, he has remained a Dodger his entire career. He has also married his girlfriend Judy and they have two children named Oliver and Heather. The biggest difference of all is that he stayed in communication with his old friends ever since this victory. Tommy then speaks to his mother's spirit, proud of who he has now become.
