Inspired in part by the needless controversy over a fine LL 1DS of just about the same name, here are some questions about famous baseball plays!

The 2003 Tony Award for Best Play went to WHAT DRAMA by Richard Greenberg, whose title puns on its major plot point (a professional baseball player revealing his homosexuality) by quoting the first three words of a well-known 1908 refrain?
The hapless title character of a 1967 musical predictably strikes out during the baseball number "T-E-A-M." Said musical is based on WHAT SYNDICATED PROPERTY (whose title does not include this main character's name)?
The 1984 baseball-themed revue Diamonds featured a song with lyrics by the great Howard Ashman, in which a seemingly proper young lady reveals herself to be a profane, trash-talking ball fan despite being a graduate, as the title relates, of WHAT PUBLIC UNIVERSITY on Manhattan's Upper East Side?
Two answers required. In keeping with its "inside baseball" references to Jewish American culture, the musical Falsettos includes a scene at a little league game where a stepfather's shouts of encouragement invoke WHICH TWO JEWISH HALL OF FAMERS, one a legendary pitcher and the other a superstar slugger?
Former Negro League player turned trash collector Troy Maxson is the protagonist of WHAT PULITZER WINNING DRAMA? Even if you don't know this one, you should still swing for it.
In The Sweetest Swing in Baseball, a play by Rebecca Gilman, a woman finds her way around restrictive health insurance policies by faking a mental illness in which she believes herself to be WHAT NEW YORK BASEBALL PLAYER, himself not renowned for being a particularly stable fellow? (edited at 11:21 am, August 24, 2017 (EDT))
A regional musical called Johnny Baseball, conceived by its creators as a comic tragedy after witnessing the actions of Aaron Boone, would be reconceived with a more uplifting ending just a year later. WHAT TEAM's history and fanbase are the focus of this musical?
Two answers required. A 1989 review by Frank Rich of the New York Times drew comparisons between a new play's title character, once acquitted of a scandalous baseball sin, and an ongoing inquiry into another player. The contemporary player had coincidentally broken the older player's all-time hits record (but would be less successful in the investigation). WHO WERE THESE TWO BASEBALL PLAYERS?
A Father attending a baseball match is alarmed as his son, a Little Boy, embraces the lower-class, immigrant-heavy atmosphere in "What a Game," a number from WHAT MUSICAL based on an E. L. Doctorow novel set at the start of the 20th century?
The name of WHAT BASEBALL PLAYER has been redacted from this script of a children's musical? (Click for the pic!) The scene depicted takes place in September 1972, some three months before a devastating earthquake in Nicaragua.
WHAT MAIN CHARACTER (first name only needed) never utters a word, even to convey a distinct lack of joy, in William Schuman's 1953 opera based on a work by Ernest Thayer?
Two answers required. Perhaps the most recognizable baseball play to hit Broadway, the original production of Damn Yankees marked the first collaboration of WHAT PERFORMER AND WHAT CHOREOGRAPHER, whose future work together would include Sweet Charity, Chicago, and a rocky marriage?
