It’s the first day of baseball season. Well, there were a couple of games yesterday but they don’t count because today is the opening day of my Seattle Mariners.
Everybody seems to know “Centerfield” by John Fogerty (known perhaps better by the tagline in the chorus “Put me in coach!”) but there are many more songs about the sport out there. How about “Talkin’ Baseball” by Terry Cashman.
Then there is “Right Field” by Peter, Paul & Mary.
And then, because it is my home team, here is “My Oh My” by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis. It’s a fantastic celebration of Mariners baseball, and even more so an appreciation of the late Hall Of Fame broadcaster Dave Niehaus.
