![]() Things take a turn for the worse when Lindsey invites Ben to accompany her to Paris, and he declines the offer because the Red Sox are in the heat of the playoff race. She eventually recovers but stops going to the games. Not paying attention to the game, she is knocked out by a line drive foul ball by then Baltimore Orioles shortstop Miguel Tejada off Mike Myers (which ends up making the late night sports highlight reel). The two continue attending the games together until one summer night when Lindsey attempts to catch up on work by taking her laptop to the game. Lindsey attends, but not being a baseball or Red Sox fan, she knows nothing about the Curse of the Bambino or even how to pronounce the name Yastrzemski. That spring, he later pretends he is proposing to her but instead asks her to the Red Sox Opening Day, where Stephen King (a longtime Sox fan) throws the first pitch. Overcoming her initial hesitance, Lindsey becomes attracted to Ben because of his ability to show passionate commitment to something. ![]() Ben awakens, and he and Lindsey end up developing a romantic relationship. The next morning, Lindsey, feeling better, finds Ben sleeping on her couch. Ben decides to spend the night and take care of her, as well as clean up her bathroom (whimsically telling her it was the "Vomit Elves" that did the work). She has food poisoning from a new restaurant where she had dined earlier that day. On their first date, Ben finds Lindsey very sick and vomiting. When Ben first asks her out, Lindsey rejects him, but she later changes her mind and agrees to go out with him. He meets Lindsey Meeks (Drew Barrymore), a professionally successful workaholic executive. The story picks up 23 years later with Ben (Jimmy Fallon) as a school teacher who is immature for his age. ![]() Ben inherited his uncle's season tickets when Carl died. Just about everything he owns bears the Red Sox name, emblem, or image of a Red Sox player (with the exception of his toilet paper, which bears the New York Yankees insignia). A narration explains that on that day, Ben became a die-hard Red Sox fan. His uncle, who had no children of his own, treated Ben like a son. Ben Wrightman, a 7-year-old boy, is going to a Red Sox game with his Uncle Carl.
