Bill's sister Cora, who lives with him, is jealous of the attention he pays to the young girl and fears that Cara will wheedle her way into her brother's will. Angry over the expensive gifts Bill has lavished on the girl, Cora accuses Bill of falling in love with her and storms off. Alone, Bill sings, "I'm not in love with her - am I?" Throughout the musical Bill is visited by the memory of his late wife, Danielle, both as a young girl (portrayed by the same actress who plays Cara,) and as an older woman. | ||||

Synopsis: Jimmy (The Arm) Younkers, after many successful prior years of big-league pitching stardom, and extravagant living, has decided to "hold-out" on signing the reduced contract resulting from his failing record of recent seasons. But while Jimmy's athletic powers are waning, his destructive lifestyle has yet to run its course. Having walked out on his wife and children he continues to pursue romantic assignations with ladies near and far; he borrows money he knows he will never repay; he indulges every impulse and has no hesitation in dragging others down with him; and in general, he refuses to admit that the days of glory are over. But, throughout, he remains cocky, irreverent and unfailingly funny as he moves through a series of events in which humor, human frailty and ultimate poignancy are blended with rare theatrical skill. | ||||
