Synopsis

Five relief pitchers and a third string catcher sweat out an afternoon in the Boston Red Sox bullpen, shaky in the knowledge that one of them is about to be replaced by a hot shot rookie.

A fast talking rock and roller, a slow thinker whose knowledge of baseball is encyclopedic, a Cy Young award winning southpaw, a possibly alcoholic Harvard grad, a black hipster who never changes his shirt, an irascible old knuckle baller close to retirement, and a catcher whose wife left him in the third inning provide a rollicking look at sports' relationships.

Bullpen has played to laughing and cheering audiences across the country in productions tailored to the hometown team.
