What I liked
Brett’s inhuman, encyclopedic knowledge of baseball will get you in the door and dazzle you, but where this show really shines is in Brett’s engaging storytelling. How vicariously I felt his love for the sport is hard to communicate in a review, and I would hate to spoil the stories which had the audience (my girlfriend and her friends, mind you) in bittersweet tears.
What I didn't like
Brett did a show in 2019, and this is the resurrection of the concept. Personally, I’m not sure I want to wait 5 years for another.
My overall impression
A surprise favorite so far from Fringe. I didn’t know a ton about baseball going in, and not only did Brett prove to me I knew more than I thought, but he proved I cared way more than I thought too. If you still can pull it off, I recommend doing a double feature with this show and their escape room, Kill the Umpire. Best baseball themed night ever.
