The Baseball Show

by Cynthia Mercati

This is a play that's all about baseball. Real baseball. It basically shows the story of a ragtag little league baseball team, the "Wapsipinicon Wolves", and how they grow not only as a baseball team, but also by how close they are to their dreams. While this main story is going on, which is narrated by an umpire, other vignettes go on too. In this playwright you will find stories of little old ladies who love the pitchers a little too much and learn how a cooperate lawyer with a six-figure income becomes a chicken!
