April 4, 201214 yr The ballpark is filled with plenty of baseball-themed music, John Fogarty's 'Centerfield' being an obvious staple. What do you classify as you favorite baseball song? For me, quickly became my favorite baseball-themed song. How about you guys?
April 4, 201214 yr Centerfield is my favorite baseball song i also like Please dont call 'em Twinkiea
April 4, 201214 yr Harmon Killebrew by Jeff Arundel. Followed by any song in Bull Durham - with special fondness for I Got Loaded by Los Lobos.
April 4, 201214 yr "We're Gonna Win Twins" - the original version, not the lame version they came up with in the 80's. I have also always loved ! Edited April 4, 201214 yr by luckylager
April 4, 201214 yr For me, quickly became my favorite baseball-themed song.Agreed. Anytime you can rhyme "I wasn't quite alive yet" with "Zoilo Versalles" you're doing something right.
April 4, 201214 yr I came across this while searching the You Tubes - probably the oldest known recording of circa 1908. Put's me in an "Opening Day" kind of mood!
April 4, 201214 yr I know that Tom Petty's songs aren't baseball songs necessarily, but they always remind me of baseball. Anytime I go to a game he's who I play on my Ipod. Also, Hal Ketchum's "Small Town Saturday Night" was played before everyone of my high school games, so it instantly reminds me of baseball. Thanks for introducing me to "Don't call them Twinkies." It's a surprisingly good song, unlike the song they introduced in 2010-- GB Leighton's "Twins Territory" about made me sick!
April 4, 201214 yr Does anyone else remember the Drive Time 1991 song?Actually, yes I do. That brief clip of Herbie laying out to catch an attempted bunt is priceless.
April 4, 201214 yr Here are a couple more worth mentioning: Van Lingle Mungo - It's not really among my favorites (it's a bit slow), but the lyrics are just names of old-time baseball players and it's pretty interesting. It was written by Dave Frishberg from St Paul - I only know this because my father knew him from their school days. Apparently Frishberg also wrote "I'm Just a Bill" from the Schoolhouse Rock series, which is pretty awesome. Talkin' baseball (Willie, Mickey, and the Duke) - More old baseball names, great song
April 4, 201214 yr For me, quickly became my favorite baseball-themed song. How about you guys?I love the spirit of the song, but I just can't stand Craig Finn's voice. I can't say that I have a favorite song about baseball. They all end up sounding kind of cheesy to me.
April 4, 201214 yr Author Having played an umpteen amount of town ball games, you get used to having baseball-themed songs blasted at you. Not being much of a country music fan, I still found Alabama's "Cheap Seats" as one of the more memorable tunes that was pumped into our earholes.
April 4, 201214 yr How has nobody mentioned this gem yet? http://www.collegehumor.com/video/6036000/scott-stapps-marlins-song
