Winner of the Edgerton New Play Award 2016

At five-foot-seven, one-hundred-sixty pounds, light-hitting shortstop turned drive-time sports radio host Edward “Chip” Fuller is hardly the poster-boy for baseball’s steroid era. But when he learns his name will appear on a list of players linked to performance enhancing drugs, Chip is forced to explain his choice to colleagues, his listeners, and his family. In doing so, he must choose between a bland public apology and a much more difficult confession: that if he had it to do over again, he wouldn't change a thing.

*A note on the title: Value Over Replacement Player is a complex baseball statistic that measures a player’s performance relative to an imagined “replacement player,” who is an average fielder and slightly below average hitter.
