Description
Raffy Rodriguez, a Yankee pitcher, is the son of a former freedom fighter in the Dominican Republic. After narrowly escaping death at the hands of his father's enemies, Raffy is sent to the U.S. where he demonstrates his extraordinary baseball skills. A shoulder injury brings Raffy to a young orthopedist, Dr. Dolores St. Vincent at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City. Her research has produced an untested cure for severe muscle and tendon injuries. Her discovery and skillful surgery result in a super powerful arm for Raffy. When Raffy returns to baseball, it is apparent to major league scouts that he possesses the most remarkable fastball in the history of the game. The media dubs him 'Arm' and he is signed by the New York Yankees. Dolores and Raffy discover their love for each other. She is beginning to realize that the revolutionary treatment which reconstructed Raffy's arm may be of short duration, and his arm could fail again. Raffy is locked in a heated World Series with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Despite Dolores' warnings, he has agreed to pitch more frequently to make up for the loss of two Yankee starting pitchers. A series of unexpected events not only puts Raffy's arm in jeopardy, but also his life.
