Editor's note

Damn Yankees, a baseball musical with a devilish deal.

A Tony-winning show about a fan who sells his soul to play ball.

For a quick sense of the show, listen to 'Two Lost Souls' or 'Heart', they get right to the core of its playful, slightly dark charm.

The show's songs like 'Two Lost Souls' and 'Shoeless Joe from Hannibal, Mo.' capture the mix of baseball nostalgia and Faustian drama that made it a Broadway hit. It won a Tony Award and found an audience despite early financial trouble.

The original Broadway production was directed by George Abbott, with Stephen Douglass as Joe Boyd and Gwen Verdon as Lola. It started with some financial struggles but built a following through its blend of sports fantasy and musical comedy. The book by Joe DiPietro and songs like 'Game' and 'Heart' helped define its story of temptation and redemption.
