Middle-aged baseball fanatic Joe Boyd trades his soul to the Devil, also known as 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 that he’s left behind. Light, fast-paced and devilishly clever, Damn Yankees is a homerun hit about an all-American game, brough to you with an irreverent sense of humor. A wicked romantic comedy, Damn Yankees is sure to please.
