DAMN YANKEES is the story of ultimate baseball fan Joe Boyd, who sells his soul
to the Devil for the chance to help his team, the Washington Senators, win the
pennant race against the unbeatable Yankees. The Devil is aided by the sexy
Lola, who seduces Joe, but ultimately helps him outsmart the Devil and return
to his beloved wife. Songs you’ll know include “Heart” and, everyone’s
favorite hummer, “Whatever Lola Wants.”
