Notes:

Celebrating and exploring themes from America's favorite pastime, The Baseball Plays: 7th Inning Stretch is a collection of short comedies and dramas from the Mile Square Theatre's annual event. From a couple arguing over the use of steroids (Off Base by Theresa Rebeck) to a priest's fight to preserve the abandoned lot where the local children play ball (Asphalt Green by Rogelio Martinez), to a marriage dissolved over fantasy baseball (Fantasy League by Lee Blessing), this collection captures the love, frustration, and nostalgia surrounding this beloved sport.

Synopsis:

The day before a pitcher realizes his dream by starting in the World Series, a dying boy in a hospital asks him to do the impossible: strike out Babe Ruth. The pitcher promises he will, but when this pivotal moment arrives, he learns that the Babe has promised to save the life of another dying boy by hitting a home run. Set against Babe Ruth's legendary "called shot," there can only be one winner between these two athletes and the children they are playing for.
