ME & JACKIE
A junkyard hermit (who was friends with the great Jackie Robinson) with guilt from a long-ago tragedy befriends a young latchkey teenager from a poor Baltimore neighborhood.
Simon stays presentable with the help of Lily, a lovely young beauty school student who comes each month to trim his hair. His only full-time companion is his faithful guard dog, Satan, a shelter rescue dog who keeps thugs out of the lot.
One day, a young man runs into the lot to escape the thugs who are chasing and throwing bottles at him. He is Fred Johnston, a local African-American high school student. Fred and Simon become fast friends and Simon starts to tell him about his friendship with the great baseball legend, Jackie Robinson.
Simon describes a wonderful experience with his father, namely, the trip that they took to New York in his Dad's new red Chevy convertable, to see the Dodgers play in the first game of the 1955 World Series. Simon also relates how Jackie R., with Branch Rickey's help and encouragement, was the first black player to integrate Major League baseball. Fred didn't know any of this and learns about Jackie R.'s struggle and his close friendship with Simon.
Thugs break into the impound lot, poison Simon's dog, Satan, and then steal a car. Simon rushes to the all- night vet clinic with Satan who is treated and due to Simon's quick thinking, saved.
Simon, finally ready to leave the lot, takes Fred to the cemetery to visit his father's grave. He asks his Dad for forgiveness and is finally able to move on with his life.
Simon reconnects with his former fiancee', Mary Anne, and together, they plan for the future.
Simon moves out of the lot, which he discovers will be torn down in a few months to make room for condominiums. He takes Mary Anne, Fred and Lily to an Orioles game where he and Fred, at halftime, get to pitch and hit with the actual Orioles players!
Simon's next birthday is spent with Mary Anne, who he has married and is expecting their first child, along with Fred, Lily and his friends, at his annual birthday crab feast/baseball game - at a new location! Satan has also produced some offspring and loves his new, tranquil home!
