Derek Klena is continuing to make the baseball diamond a Broadway style performance! This time at the Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati, Ohio he channeled his inner Jean Valjean while serenading team mate and designated hitter Danny Oberst. With a man on third, Klena – complete with a prop mustache and beard -pleads with Oberst to “bring hime home” so the Bananas can get another run scored. Check out the video!
