His arm speed was down and the hop on his pitches had diminished, but his motion remained tranquilly the same as that of the 22-year-old who burst onto the major league with a 16-13 campaign in 1967 with the woeful New York Mets...

The show peaks in Act II when the Inner City Breakers, a young street-styled trio, stage a friendly invasion onto the playground and perform some impressive rounds of break dancing. Although visibility could be better, the dancers bring the excitement and energy of a spraying city fire hydrant in the heat of August, a new a dramatic height, well-maintained despite a few disappointing lapses.
