7-year-old Ben Wrightman has just moved to the greater Boston area with his mother following his parents’ divorce. To cheer the boy up, Ben’s kindly uncle Carl brings him to a Boston Red Sox game at Fenway Park. That day, young Ben is hooked and becomes a die-hard Red Sox fan for life.
23 years later, the adult Ben (Jimmy Fallon) still lives in Boston and works as a school teacher, and has inherited his uncle’s season tickets. Almost all of his possessions bear the Red Sox logo (with the exception of his toilet paper, which bears the New York Yankees insignia). On a school trip, Ben meets Lindsey Meeks (Drew Barrymore), a professionally successful workaholic executive. When Ben asks her out, Lindsey initially rejects him, but she later changes her mind and agrees to go out with him.
On the evening of their first date, Ben arrives at Lindsey’s apartment to find her ill with food poisoning. Ben cares for Lindsey, helping her into her pajamas, cleaning up her bathroom, and bringing a care package with a DVD copy of Road House. Lindsey is charmed by his care and commitment, and the two develop a romantic relationship.
That spring, Ben asks Lindsey to accompany him to the Red Sox Opening Day. Lindsey, who knows little about baseball or the Red Sox, learns about the Curse of the Bambino from the season ticket holders who sit near Ben (including Al Waterman, a sponge salesman who also narrates the story). The two continue attending the games together, until one evening when Lindsey attempts to catch up on work by taking her laptop to the game. Lindsey is knocked out by a line drive foul ball by then Baltimore Orioles shortstop Miguel Tejada off Mike Myers (which ends up making the late night sports highlight reel). She eventually recovers but stops going to the games.
