Walking into this production I thought I knew about the Negro League. I took a course in college called American History Through Baseball (coolest class ever), so I figured I was good. Turns out, my knowledge was woefully inadequate. This show assumes a pre-knowledge of the inner workings of the management and owners of the Negro Leagues. The script jumps right into an office of two people. Later they revealed to be owners, talking about someone(s) – I think a player trade and a guy to possibly invest in the league – and the fast-paced dialogue continued from there. As much as I hate a bunch of exposition right up front, this play needed some exposition right up front.
