What I liked

Brett maintains a jovial, avuncular character around the feats of memory and audience participation games. He is the living embodiment of baseball fandom, playing on rivalries in the crowd and holding court as an excellent storyteller.

What I didn't like

Somebody pick this guy up for a residency! This could play anywhere: bars, comedy clubs, cafes. This is fantastic.

My overall impression

Half quiz show, half mentalist act, this ode to baseball fits the Fringe like a well-worn glove. Brett commands a supernatural knowledge of the sport. His abject delight in relating esoteric facts may stir even the most baseball-apathetic to appreciate America’s pastime. I would call this piece a grand slam, so don’t strike out or walk from this run.
