Fever Pitch is a romantic comedy film directed by the Farrelly brothers. Ben Wrightman (Jimmy Fallon) is a die-hard Boston Red Sox fan who has been following the team since he was a child. Lindsey Meeks (Drew Barrymore) is a successful businesswoman who meets Ben during the off-season.
The two quickly hit it off and begin dating, with Ben showing Lindsey his charming and carefree side. However, as the baseball season begins, Ben's true obsession with the Red Sox is revealed. He attends every game, memorizes stats, and even sleeps with his lucky Red Sox t-shirt.
Lindsey tries to understand Ben's passion for the Red Sox, but as the season becomes more intense, their relationship becomes strained. She wants to spend time with him, but he is always at the ballpark. In a pivotal moment, Lindsey buys Ben tickets to a game and surprises him, but he is too focused on the game to appreciate the gesture.
