"Damn Yankees" is about a middle-aged
man who ultimately makes a deal with the devil to become a
younger, athletic version of himself and help the fictitious
Washington Senators beat those Yankees once and for all.
During his journey to clinch the
pennant, Joe begins to miss his wife and the name he made for
himself throughout his non-famous life. As the devil, Applegate,
sees Joe wanting to use his "escape clause," Applegate tries to
lure him into staying with him by sending Lola to tempt him away
from his wife. When that fails, Applegate starts a nasty rumor,
which Joe must prove false in order to keep his good name.
The decision lies in Joe's hands
whether to choose fame, fortune and youth over his wife and
middle-aged mediocrity. What will he decide? Come and see for
yourself.
