Faust meets professional baseball in the Broadway classic strongDAMN YANKEES/strong. brbrMiddle-aged baseball fanatic Joe Boyd trades his soul to the Devil (the charming but devious Mr. Applegate) for a chance to lead his favorite team to victory in the pennant race against the New York Yankees. As young baseball sensation Joe Hardy, he transforms the hapless Washington Senators into a winning team, only to realize the true worth of the life (and wife) he's left behind. With the help of a handy escape clause and a guilt-ridden temptress named Lola, Joe outsmarts Applegate, returns to his former self and shepherds the Senators to the World Series.brbrLight, fast-paced and devilishly clever, strongDAMN YANKEES /strongis a home-run
hit whose all-American subject matter and irreverent sense of humor have
brought many a sports fan into the theatre.br
