Based on a play by Chicago's Organic Theater Company, this film follows diehard Chicago Bruins fans who frequent the bleachers at the games though the Bruins seldom win. Yes, this sounds like–and the play was about–the seldom-winning Chicago Cubs. The ball park and the team's name were changed due to a lack of endorsement resulting from the gambling theme, among other "sins."
