Vampire in the Outfield

A young man who just wants to play baseball in the major leagues ends up going to some questionable extremes to get his wish. A humorous look at baseball, vampires, and the Evil Empire (the New York Yankees) in a future where scouts will sign just about anybody – human or otherwise – if they can hit and play ball.

Johnny Black is so desperate to play baseball in the big leagues, he's ready to do anything - even make a deal with the Devil. And he sort of thinks he's gone to Hell when he goes down to Mexico to play in the winter league with the Diablos. His dream seems to be coming to a swift end as he performs poorly in tryouts, but then his luck takes a turn for the ... worse ... when he meets a mysterious woman in a cantina.
