Never mind--Damn Yankees may be dated, but it boasts tunes like "You've Gotta Have Heart," "Whatever Lola Wants," "The Good Old Days" and "Goodbye Old Girl," which is more than you can say of the Globe sports pages. As you might expect, a show mixing Faust and the Yankees was combustible stuff on Broadway--one of its longest-running shows, in fact. Maybe the Devil helped light...
