A Sad (but true) Story

Little Kevin Slowpoke of the Minnesota Twins, like so many boys his age, dreams of what lies over the ballpark fence. One day a Yankee hits the ball and carries him away over the fence to another world. Come join Slowpoke, Carmen California, the Twins, the Yankees, and AAA Rochester as they travel the universe of baseball.

The original cast recording of The Game From Hell includes the songs Over The Fence, Munchkinland (Ding Dong! Nicky Punto's Alive), If I Only Had A Hit, If I Only Had A Run, If I Only Had A Win , We're Off To See The Wild Card (Follow The Road Trip Schedule), The Jitterbug, and The Merry Old Land of the Bronx.

A storybook opens to depict little Slowey on the mezmerizing New York skyline, when suddenly a ball comes up, turns his world to the bases loaded, and he lands on the mound, which promptly throws him off. His friend Carmen California finds his way to the Major Leagues, so Jardinero oils him up and accompanies him. They watch Slowpoke meander off the mound before being ushered into AAA Rochester by singing suits of Red Wings and a lavish parade of minor leagers before meeting the scouts, devious little men who transform prospects into uncontrollable stars, much to Slowpoke’s dismay. Finally, Pokey realizes he is at home in AAA and that he can turn the game over to Surfer Dude Cali to ensure eternal happiness for the Twins.
