What song Reminds you the Most about Baseball?

Question

Thats NOT "Take me out to the Ball Game"

and that "out in left field" song

or a Song that ACTUALLY about Baeball

Example: For me, it "I Left My Heart in San Francisco"

Whats yours?

Answer 1

You have to listen to this. Randy Newman -- of "Short People" fame -- has a song called:

Sigmund Freud's Impersonation of Albert Einstein in America

It's a hoot, of course, but has a line about baseball. It's my baseball song.  

Answer 2

Old Days by Chicago.

I collect baseball cards and that's the only song I know that mentions baseball cards.

Answer 3

"Go Getta" by Young Jeezy.  Yeah, I know, this has absolutely nothing to do with baseball, but I hear it EVERY time Ryan Braun walks up to bat, and I had it as the background music for a baseball slideshow I made a while ago.

Answer 4

Enter Sandman

New York, New York

Summer of '69

The first two are obvious (Mariano Rivera, New York Yankees), but Summer of '69 is entirely random. I have absolutely no clue why it makes me think of baseball.

EDIT: Paradise by the Dashboard Light

This Is How a Heart Breaks (embarrassing to have this on here, but when I listen to it, the words match up perfectly to a postseason meltdown)

Answer 5

"Welcome to the Jungle" (Guns N' Roses) because that was Eric Gagne's intro song

and

- "I Love LA" (Randy Newman) because they play it after every Dodger victory

Answer 6

I've actually heard a tune that makes me think of the old days of baseball, such as Ty Cobbs' and Babe Ruth's time, but I don't know the name of the song.

Answer 7

Center Field by John Fogarty

If that's the out in left field song, sorry but it can't be that well known, if you got it that wrong. Anyway, it's a great baseball song.

Answer 15

The song Swing Batta Batta swing cant remember who sings it though some country star that loves baseball it was This Week In Baseball a couple of weeks ago

Answer 16

"Beer Barrel Polka" definitely reminds me about baseball, but it might not count since it's played during the 7th inning stretch of Brewers games.

"God Bless America" does as well, but that might not count either.

I don't know what else.  There are the walk-up songs for batters, but I don't know titles for most of those.
