The story centers around Joe Matson, an aspiring pitcher, as he navigates his transition from his hometown to the prestigious Yale University amid his passion for baseball.

The opening of the novel introduces Joe Matson, who is ambivalent about attending Yale, feeling pressure from his family while harboring dreams of becoming a professional baseball player. A conversation with his friend Tom reveals Joe’s apprehensions, but he ultimately acknowledges that he has to comply with his mother’s wishes. As he prepares for college life, Joe encounters a man in distress whose carriage is damaged; he helps the man reach the train station just in time, foreshadowing Joe's own urgent ambitions. The chapter sets up key themes around personal ambition, societal expectations, and the youth's bittersweet journey towards maturity.
