Worth Keeping

Moving into a new home sets the scene for a touching encounter between Dan, a newly hired major league baseball player, and his mother, who raised him alone. When Dan leaves to move the truck, his mother shares her box of memories with Dan’s wife. Among the little league snapshots and trophies, there is also an afghan that she knitted during his high school games. Dan had spoken of it, but didn’t know his mother had kept it until the box is unpacked. As Dan and his mother continue to sort through the box, Dan realizes the major role his mother played in his achievement of becoming a major league player.
