Last October, Kansas City Crowns 2-time MVP Merrick Hostaukus hit the game-winning home run in the bottom of the ninth in the Championship Series. After the game, Merrick announced his retirement from baseball (right in the middle of his prime) to pursue a career in acting.
 
On this day, Merrick has invited some of his closest friends to join him at his mansion and to admire (some would say gloat about) the autographed game-winning homerun ball proudly on display in his living room. The latest appraisals suggest the ball could be worth as much as $2,000,000! That night, a storm forces the guests to stay overnight.
