By Richard Dresser

It’s not whether you win or lose, it’s how you play the game. Right?

Don is the coach of a Little League team. His son is the star pitcher and Don wants to be tough and win-at-all costs. Michael, his assistant, is new to baseball. Also a dad, he thinks that everyone should have a good time and not worry about competition pressure.

They form an uneasy alliance for sake of the team. Over the course of exhilarating victories, heartbreaking defeats, and interminable rain-outs, the two men battle over how to lead the team.

How do we raise our children? Does everyone have to have a good time? What does it mean to be an American man? What makes a winning team? Is it about competition? Character? Punctuality? The right equipment?

"Their clash of styles and wills drives this funny, acerbic and touching play through the bumpy terrain of fatherhood and baseball." - Playbill
