Hit a home run with a spirit-rousing musical play about the “other” major league. This Discovery Theater original chronicles the struggles and triumphs of pioneering African American baseball players. The all-star lineup of heroes includes Moses “Fleet” Walker, who became the game’s first black pro in the 1880s; Andrew “Rube” Foster, hailed as the father of black baseball; power hitter Josh “Spitfire” Gibson; athlete-philosopher Satchel Paige; and a young Jackie Robinson, who first integrated the major leagues. You’ll stand up and cheer for the players who made sports history—and American history, too!

Bring this show to your school, library, or community center February 8 to 28.  Visit discoverytheater.org/touring-shows for details.
