The sign at the ballpark says "No Monsters Allowed!", but that doesn't stop Roscoe from sneaking a little monster named Gus in to see a baseball game. It seems they're not alone as more monsters begin slipping into the ballpark to join the fun! Giant puppets bring the history and tradition of baseball alive through songs, stories, and funny family friendly improv! There's room for everyone at America's favorite pastime.
