It would take a miracle for the Pittsburgh Pirates baseball team to win the pennant. But when a young girl prays for just such a miracle, her beloved team begins to win--and she believes it’s being helped by "Angels in the Outfield"! Young Bridgit White's (Donna Corcoran) prayers are answered when the Archangel Gabriel tells combative Pirates manager Guffy McGovern (Paul Douglas) that miracles will begin to happen if McGovern forswears his swearing. Now, in what seems a miracle, the Pirates begin to win--but McGovern's life only becomes more complicated when a newspaper reporter overhears Bridgit claiming she sees the heavenly forms of former baseball greats helping the Pirates in this delightful classic.
