Damn Yankees is a modern retelling of the Faust legend set during the 1950s in Washington D.C. during a time when the New York Yankees dominated Major League Baseball. It was the dream of every Baseball Fan of that time to become the hero of his favorite major league team. But, when the Devil shows up and makes one baseball fan’s dream come true, for a price, the dream becomes more than the fan bargains for in the end.
