Mr. Baseball

“I’ve seen so many studs like you get chewed up by the in-between… forged in the fires of some hell somewhere, with their sticks and their gloves and their silly dream locked up behind a wall of attitude they wear to hide how scared to death they are… til they’re all used up and sent packing… but it ain’t personal, kid, it’s just baseball.”

– Frank “Mr. Baseball” Little in Mr. Baseball, by Matt Doherty

This funny and gripping world-premiere is set in the waning moments of the 1950s in a hotel room in Detroit; Mr. Baseball explores the life of a pro ball team and their fading leader, Frank Little: Super-Star, Hero, Self-Destructive.
