Synopsis:

It's the summer of 1979, somewhere in South St. Louis, and a 78-year-old man is helping his granddaughter with a school project.  Despite his increasing forgetfulness, he dictates the events of his life on a tape recorder.  As he talks, he can't help intertwining his life memories with those his favorite baseball team, the St. Louis Browns.  His life's ups and downs mirror the record and adventures of this one time St. Louis team.  This one-man play is a tour de force for a single actor, as it deals with life, aging, baseball, being a die-hard fan of a losing team, and the loss precious memories.

 

The only cast member is a White male, able to look and perform like a man in his late 70s.
