By now, you may have heard of a little Broadway musical called "Hamilton," about the life (and death) of founding father Alexander Hamilton. It's a smash hit, and it's poised to win a slew of awards at next week's Tonys. Like many workplaces, they have a softball team made up of cast, crew, bartenders, and ushers from their theater. And wouldn't you know it, their softball team is undefeated! [ Join a Yahoo Daily Fantasy Baseball contest now ] They couldn't let this accomplishment pass without celebrating it, of course! On Wednesday, the "Hamilton" team and their coach, clad in their uniforms and led by the writer/composer/star of the show Lin-Manuel Miranda, did a sidewalk performance of "Heart" from the musical "Damn Yankees," which was absolutely perfect. "Damn Yankees," a musical about baseball, is a rarity in the genre. It's about a Washington Senators fan named Joe who sells his soul to the devil for a chance to help his hapless team beat those "Damn Yankees" and win the pennant. The devil transforms Joe into a young baseball player who is picked up by the Senators and transforms their season. In "Heart," the coach of the Senators gives his team a pep talk. The coach of the "Hamilton" softball team (wearing a New York Mets T-shirt, natch) appropriately starts off the performance in the role of the Senators' coach, but quickly turns the singing over to the professionals. This performance is just the latest in their ongoing #Ham4Ham series, in which the cast performs for the (very long) line of fans who hope to score tickets in the daily lottery.  Lin-Manuel Miranda is reportedly leaving "Hamilton" in July to work on other projects. After the success of his softball team, maybe a new baseball musical is in his future. We can hope, right?
