Faust meets professional baseball in this Broadway classic from the creators of The Pajama Game. Middle-aged baseball fanatic Joe Boyd trades his soul to the Devil (the charming but devious Mr. Applegate) for a chance to lead his favorite team to victory in the pennant race against the New York Yankees. As young baseball sensation Joe Hardy, he transforms the hapless Washington Senators into a winning team, only to realize the true worth of the life (and wife) he's left behind. With the help of a handy escape clause and a guilt-ridden temptress named Lola, Joe outsmarts Applegate, returns to his former self and shepherds the Senators to the World Series. Damn Yankees is filled with rousing production numbers and popular favorites like "Heart" and "Whatever Lola Wants." Read more. Minnesota State Mankato previously presented Damn Yankees in the summer of 1989.
