New York Yankees' batboy Matt McGough goes on a wild goose chase for a left-handed bat-stretcher. Michaela Murphy (photo) recounts her Irish-Catholic family's obsession with the Kennedys and their dedication to a summer of spying on their idols. Comedian Anthony Griffith earns his living as a clown while suffering ultimate heartbreak. And Ed Gavagan, the child of a tough drill sergeant who faints at the sight of blood, is injured on a Texas military base in the early 1970's. Hosted by Lea Thau.
