I was happy with the show tonight, I really was, but I learned that when doing a four minute Shakespeare Improv with the suggestion of Steroids does not really allow you to make the following references:
"A man with arms weak training in Left field"
"Four bases found and run around"
"No one in this land doth understand the infield fly rule"
"Take these pills and thy arm will send even the weakest ball over the Great Green Wall"
"This empire shall never be yours, it shall remain that of King Seilig"
"Look North toward Toronto and the Jays of Blue, and Look West toward that of the Cactus League"
If you like baseball and improv, you can see where these might be funny, unfortunately there are not many people who fall into that category.
I also made the whole thing seem forced.
Of course in a game of "Blind Line" an audience member wrote the line "You're killing me, Smalls." and that made me happy.
