Bleacher Bums -
A Comedy by Joe Mantegna
Set in the bleachers at Wrigley Field in Chicago, die-hard Cubs fans root for their star-crossed team in this 9-inning comedy. The motley group includes a rabid cheerleader, a blind man who follows the game by transistor radio, a bathing beauty, a nerd, and various other denizens of the cheap seats. As the game proceeds, they bet against themselves on every conceivable event, go out for frosty malts or beers, try to pick up the bathing beauty and, occasionally, watch the game. A touching and humorous look at a relationship built on blind faith. Bleacher Bums will enchant anyone who has spent a day believing in the highly unlikely.
