The Story
Based on the novel "The Year The Yankees Lost The Pennant" by Douglass Wallop.
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.
Produced by special arrangement with Tams-Witmark Music Library.
