Featuring the persona of that bad boy of baseball, Darryl Strawberry, famous for his 'sweet' swing and troubled personal behavior, Strawberry becomes a metaphor for the dark side of fame as Gilman plays with the parallels between art and baseball, how we measure the success and failure of those we make into celebrities, and how we build them up and tear them down with equal enthusiasm-when maybe they just want to make art or hit baseballs. Maybe she's not a ball player, but Dana decides she needs the brag and comeback energy of Darryl Strawberry to survive as an artist. And more than that, she needs to become Darryl Strawberry-and not just figuratively. This woman has to become one of the only players in history to win a World Series championship with both of New York's current teams or her insurance company is going to kick her out of the hospital. But, first she has to learn something about baseball. Can you list in chronological order every team Strawberry played for? Including the bottom of the bottom' farm team he went to after he got 'clean for real?' You will after seeing The Sweetest Swing in Baseball, a comic celebration of art, theater, and yes, baseball.
