The story
In Brooklyn, New York in 1969, four boys approach Minifield "Bleek" Gilliam's Brownstone apartment and ask him to play baseball with them.
The next morning, Bleek awakens with his girlfriend, schoolteacher Indigo Downes.
Later, in the office of the club's Jewish owners Moe and Josh Flatbush, he explains how the Quintet keeps the establishment profitable, and unsuccessfully attempts to renegotiate their contract.
