...going to win this thing." It didn't sound quite so funny after Juan Marichal ran his season's record to 25-6 by beating the Pirates 5-4 in the first half of a doubleheader in Pittsburgh.

Stephen Douglass as the young players, Robert Shafter as the cocoon from which Douglass emerges, and Shannon Bolin as a baseball widow all have acting as well as singing talent. When Douglass sings "A Man Doesn't Know" or Shafter sings "Goodbye, Old Girl" the show takes on a melodious wistfulness surprising, and welcome, in an evening so high-spirited...
