Anti-Yankee propaganda still rampant in Indiana

Will hatred ever end?

The Valparaiso High School Drama Club will present the musical “Damn Yankees” to open its 2011 season.

“Damn Yankees,” the winner of seven Tony Awards, is set in Washington, D.C., during the 1950s, a time when the New York Yankees dominated baseball. It follows an avid Washington Senators fan who wishes to be young again so he can help his team to glory. In the process he gets far more than he bargained for.

“Damn Yankees” includes the songs “Heart,” “Whatever Lola Wants” and “Shoeless Joe from Hannibal, MO.”
