The Atlantic League of Professional Acting

As another anonymous Atlantic League writer would say, this story is hiiiiilarious.
Here is a summary, but I highly suggest reading the story.
ESPN has a new TV series (see: Playmakers) coming out about the 1977 Yankees, their pursuit to win the World Series and the various national and local subplots at the time. The show is called The Bronx is Burning and it debuts in July.
The real kick?
Sparky Lyle is played by Road Warriors pitcher Aric LeClaire and Roy White is played by Patriots outfielder Elliot Ayala.
Neither Lyle/LeClaire or White/Ayala are supposed to have speaking parts, but this story gives you a little insight into the show and into LeClaire's futile attempt to grow a Lyle-like mustache.
I hope to have more on this after I speak to Ayala later today.
