Stealing Home is a 1988 movie, starring Mark Harmon, Jodie Foster, Jonathan Silverman, and Harold Ramis. The film is directed by Steven Kampmann and William Porter.
Now in his 30s, doing poorly financially and socially, Billy Wyatt (Harmon) was once a very talented high school baseball player and minor-league prospect. He receives a telephone call from his mother revealing that his former child-sitter -- and later, in his teens, his first love -- Katie Chandler (Foster), has committed suicide.
This immediately elicits wonderful and painful memories of the times Billy spent with her, as well as of his own childhood, especially with his father Sam Wyatt (John Shea) with whom he had a very affectionate relationship, and with best friend Alan Appleby (Silverman), with whom he had a great friendship full of adventure, challenge and more.
The memories become the story, going back to Billy's pre-teen time with Katie as his child-sitter (Katie was in her late teens at the time), and with his father; then to his teens, both before and after his father died in a car accident. Billy and Katie shared a brief time of love together before she moved out of the country to be with a man she loved.
