He started working out, shaping up, and even earned a spot on the Walton baseball team, that went all the way to the Little League World Series. But the best things to come out of that season were his friendships with Jack, Cassie, and Gus, and the confidence to finally try out for the sport he really lovesfootball.

And Teddy isnt happy about it. As a former star football player at the school, Teddys dad is thrilled to find out his son is going out for the team, but Teddy begins to wonder if his father only cares about him now because hes putting on the helmet.
