Bleacher Bums was written collaboratively by members of Chicago's Organic Theater Company, based on an idea by actor Joe Mantegna.

Bleacher Bums is about a group of die hard fans in the bleachers of Chicago's Wrigley Field. They include a rabid cheerleader, a blind man who follows the game by transistor radio and does his own play by play, a bathing beauty, a nerd and various other bleacher denizens. As the game proceeds, they bet among themselves on every conceivable event, go out for frosty malts or beers, try to pick up the bathing beauty and, occasionally, watch the game. The Cubs inevitably blow it in the ninth. The bleacher bums remain undaunted they will be back tomorrow to root for the home team.
