  • Wdam Radio's Greatest Baseball Hits
    THE MUSIC FAN'S SCORECARD TO WDAM RADIO'S GREATEST BASEBALL HITS It's a hit! WDAM Radio's "Greatest Baseball Hits" is the greatest roster of songs about baseball of ever assembled on one team of MP3 files! The WDAM Sports Department has scouted our famous Groove Yard (one of the largest collections of recorded music this side...or any side...of Cooperstown) to find the most major and minor league melodies you could ever imagine – from "America's Greatest Imaginary Station." In addition to these diamond discs and all-star anthems, our lineup also includes memorable play-by-play moments, just as you might have heard them on the radio. And in between innings, we pinch hit some selected baseball movie themes. You'll need a scorecard to truly enjoy this collection, so we have provided one, along with important stats about the songs, on the pages that follow.” These stats include the year, and for those recordings that actually made Billboard magazine's pop music charts, the highest position reached is designated by "#." Many of these selections are particularly rare (and they are labeled as such), so you won't find them at your favorite music source or sports store. Obviously, WDAM Radio's "Greatest Baseball Hits" is in a league of its own. All of us at the station hope you'll have as much fun with this collection as we did assembling it! Play ball!

Baseball music, when examined as a group, reveals the remarkable congruence between the evolution of the sport from before the Civil War to the present, and the musical counterparts that have chronicled in song baseball’s greatest moments. While the music associated with baseball has grown to span a number of musical genres since the 1850s, the sport’s intersection with popular music was solidified in New York’s Tin Pan Alley publishing houses.

Tis then the scarlet sage is ripe Tis then the oyster, adron the An ready for the pie. garden wall. In fall the actors smoking hot Are sqid by venders shrill And stars forsake the baseball lot For current vaudeville. Baseball and Vaudeville-an unlikely combination you say, but during the 1900’s it was the vogue of star baseball players to augment their winter income by appearing in vaudeville, usually with an experienced vaudeville star doing most of the acting. Many players did a baseball monologue and sometimes doing a little singing or dancing. Many were awkward on stage but stars like Mike Donlin, Charley Dooin, Billy Hallman, Al Mamaux, Joe Tinker and many others felt comfortable on stage and were talented. The Red Sox Quartet with Marty McHale were exceptional musically and were accepted by their fans. While some critic did not appreciate the baseball stars appeal, the fans did and the baseball stars usually played to packed houses of their admirers. There were critics-including the ‘White Rats’ (a union organization) and the baseball magnates. The stars could ask for a bigger salary to play baseball-using what Vaudeville usually paid as leverage. The 2 vaudeville salary was much more than a player earned from baseball something five times their baseball salary. A number of forms of entertainment existed at the turn of the 20th century – baseball, vaudeville, the minstrels, boxing, and later radio and silent films, and popular sheet music.
