The Kid from Cleveland is a film about a troubled northeast Ohio teen baseball fan who is adopted by members of the 1948 World Champion Cleveland Indians, including Bob Feller, Lou Boudreau, Tris Speaker, Hank Greenberg, Satchel Paige, and Bill Veeck.

Sports announcer Mike Jackson takes Johnny Barrows, a juvenile delinquent abandoned by his stepfather, under his wing and introduces him to the Cleveland Indians, who do their best to straighten the kid out, pulling together to win the World Series
