Frasier’s son, Frederick, is coming to Seattle for a visit, so Frasier excitedly makes all sorts of plans. Topping Frederick’s vacation wish list: a private tour of Microsoft headquarters. Frasier pulls in a favor and gets Roz to call an ex-boyfriend who works for the company to arrange the tour, but he’s no longer an employee.

Meanwhile, Roz and Bulldog are pumped up about playing on the station’s softball team. When Frederick decides that he wants to see his dad play softball, Frasier joins the team rather than disappoint Frederick again on top of the Microsoft debacle.

There’s just one small problem: Frasier doesn’t know how to play. To get up to speed, Frasier convinces Martin to take him to the batting cages and teach him the game. After a series of mishaps, Frasier is forced to tell Frederick the truth. To Frasier’s surprise, this revelation doesn’t bother Frederick in the least, and he urges his father to play anyway.
