"Take Me Out" is critically acclaimed!Today, swings take over two roles at “Take Me Out”! Bill Ledbetter, who currently provides the voiceovers for William R. Danziger and the reporter, will step into the role of Toddy, while I will be covering for the role of Davey Battle, in addition to my regular role as Rodriguez.

Darren Lemming, the star centre fielder of the world champion New York Empires, is young, rich, famous, talented, handsome and so convinced of his popularity that when he casually announces he’s gay, he assumes the news will be readily accepted by everyone. It isn’t. Friends, fans and teammates react with ambivalence, and when the slipping Empires call up the young phenom Shane Mungitt to close their games, the ambivalence turns to violence. Angry, lonely, guilt-ridden and confused, Darren finds some unlikely solace in the form of friendship with his new business manager, Mason Marzac-a brilliant but repressed guy, who, as everyone around him copes with disenchantment, blooms in the ecstatic discovery of baseball.
