Baseball Songs....


I've been asked to come up with a list of songs about baseball or that baseball is prominently mentioned in to use as background music for an event I'm going to on Friday featuring Hall of Famer Jim Palmer....Anyone have any ideas for me?


I've come up with "Talking Baseball (Wllie Mickey & The Duke)" - Terry Cashman and "Centerfield" by John Fogerty

"Sweet Caroline"  By Neil Diamond.  It's played after the 8th inning of every home game at Fenway Park.  That scene is deplicted in the movie "Fever Pitch" about the Boston Red Sox.

Well, I doubt you'd want to use it because it's sorta sad, but there's Sinatra's "There used to be a ballpark"

Of course, there's always Meat Loaf's PARADISE BY THE DASHBOARD LIGHT heh heh heh. I s'pose that might not be appropriate though
