Ball Boy

2014, 25 minutes

A disgraced baseball ball boy tries his hand on the women's tennis tour

London Bell shames his family, which contains a long line of legendary ball boys, when he gets banned from baseball for life for objectionable behavior. Down in the dumps, London's friends, Roman and Dublin, convince London to try out for Women's Tennis Federation despite London's reservations about tennis not being a team sport. The WTF is run by a wacky Orthodox Jewish Rabbi known as the Rabbi Mendel, who is assisted by the scheming Saul. At the tryouts, London goes up against some very athletic competitors, with the exception of one mentally challenged ball boy hopeful. The tryouts feature duels, where ball boys go one on one, as two guest players, the sexy champion Vlada and the no-nonsense number two contender Bella, smack volleys against each other. London ends up losing most of these duels and trudges back to his favorite dive bar, the OZbar. The one saving grace for London: He may have caught the attention of Bella. The OZbar also happens to be the celebrations location for the ball boys who won jobs. The obnoxious and steroid-inclined ball boy, Sebastian, ridicules London for thinking he could win a job in tennis just because he was a famous baseball ball boy. London, humiliated, gets a surprise visit from Coach Sven, the coach of the number one player Vlada...You can guess what happens...And no, London does not end up as a Ballboy for Coach Sven.
