Looking for Oscar chronicles one man`s search to find the baseball of his youth, as represented by player Oscar Gamble, AKA "The Greatest Afro of All-Time." Interviews with sports authority and super-fan Bob Costas, "Bull Durham" director Ron Shelton and some of the game`s more colorful characters like Bill "Spaceman" Lee, Al "The Mad Hungarian" Hrabosky and Hall of Famer Fergie Jenkins, take the viewer back to a time when players had more heart than salary, more hair than could fit under their caps and more polyester than should have been allowed.
