And the only diamond that he gets near is not on the finger of his live-in girlfriend, Sherry, but instead a softball diamond, which is CJ's drug of choice. However, when Sherry learns she's pregnant and moves out to prod CJ into action, the real root of CJ's artful dodging comes into play: a curse in which Bailey men become absent as soon as a baby becomes present. Faced with losing his true love or confronting the curse and his impending fatherhood, CJ does what any man would do- play ball!
