Here they are, 20 years later, with a lifetime of stories built together about baseball, dreams, challenges, and accomplishments. Together they share details of the story that turned Jimmy into a legend on the field, and eventually took him to the stage as a motivational speaker on the miracle of his sudden healing.

Besides being an actor, musician, and songwriter, Dennis Quaid is also a jet pilot, low handicap golfer, and armchair historian. He has powered a NASCAR around an oval track, played golf with 2 presidents, spoke before Congress, piloted a dogsled in the arctic, meditated on the shore of the Ganges River, run marathons, been a middle-weight boxer, and can change a diaper in 20 seconds. Like him, all of Dennis's famous friends have interests outside of the thing they're known for; in each episode of The Dennissance, Dennis talks to his guests about what makes them unique in the world.
