Synopses for Stealing Home (1988)
1.
In this sentimental coming-of-age story, professional baseball player Billy Wyatt must come to terms with the suicide of a childhood friend . Through a series of multi-layered flashbacks, the hero looks back on his youth -- an idyllic, upper middle-class existence dominated by his love of baseball and wild-but-wise older girl Katie Chandler. Called upon to dispose of Katie's remains after her suicide, Billy reflects on how she helped him realize his dream of being a baseball player.

For ex-ballplayer Billy Wyatt (Mark Harmon), whose drive never matched his big-leagure prospects, the high point of his life was summer of 1964. Decades later, Billy returns home to recall the past-and the person who made it special.
Harmon and Jodie Foster star in Stealing Home, a bittersweet story "beautifully written a la Moonstruck" in which "you'll spend a couple of hours lost in a wonderful world" (Bill Cosford, Miami Herald). As a burnout seeking redemption, Chicago Hope's Harmon hits the mark as the older Billy, and the luminous Foster sparkles as Katie, the friend and mentor who vibrantly draws the loose ends of Billy's past and present together. Buoyed by a marvelous golden-oldies soundtrack, Stealing Home is a warm, wistful, memory-lane journey.
