Baseball Bucket List: THEATRE

On Tuesday 9 March 2010 a book was published titled: The Baseball Fan’s Bucket List: 162 Things You Must Do, See, Get, and Experience Before You Die, by Robert Santelli and Jenna Santelli. The book’s table of contents lists all 162 items per the authors’ ranking. I have taken that list and organized it into twelve categories, which I find easier to consider when dealing with the list. I will be presenting each category alphabetically over the course of the 2011 baseball season. The number to the left of each item is its position on the Santellis’ list. Today’s category number eleven out of twelve is:

THEATRE

56 Attend A Theatrical Production Of Damn Yankees
The original 1955 Tony award-winning musical comedy, Damn Yankees, was based on the Douglass Wallop book, The Year the Yankees Lost the Pennant, published in 1954. There have been several theatrical revivals of this Faustian-themed story, as well as a 1958 Damn Yankees film.



78 Attend A Theatrical Production Of Bleacher Bums
A 1977 play, Bleacher Bums, is the story of a game in the life of some Chicago Cub fans at Wrigley Field. There have been two television productions of Bleacher Bums, one in 1979 and the other in 2002.
