There have been hundreds of songs written about America's pastime. Here are 25 of the best, in chronological order. "Joltin’ Joe DiMaggio" — Les Brown & His Orchestra featuring Betty Bonney (Single, 1941) The Les Brown Orchestra was one of the most popular jazz bands of the late 30’s and early 40’s. This song was inspired by Joe DiMaggio’s 56- game hitting streak. It was written by Alan Courtney and Ben Homer and features Betty Bonney on vocals. DiMaggio won the MVP in 1941 and the Yankees won the World Series. "Did You See Jackie Robinson Hit That Ball?" — Count Basie & His Orchestra (Single, 1949) This one’s probably one of the most popular baseball songs of all-time. Originally written and recorded by Buddy Johnson in 1949, Count Basie re-recorded the tune that same year, and his version became the standard. The song was incredibly timely, as Jackie Robinson won his only MVP award in 1949. "Say Hey (The Willie Mays Song)" — Willie Mays with The Treniers (Single, 1954) When Willie Mays returned from the Army in 1954, he was approached by a New York PR man named Ted Worner about having a song written about him. Worner got writer and columnist Dick Kleiner to write the lyrics and Jane Douglass to write the music and chorus. Epic records gave the song to the Treniers, but insisted Mays be featured on the recording. Mays agreed and added some dialogue. Chicago’s own Quincy Jones produced the song. "I Love Mickey" — Mickey Mantle & Teresa Brewer (Single, 1956) Mickey Mantle teamed up with singer Teresa Brewer for the song “I Love Mickey,” released on Coral records in 1956. That same summer proved to be a great one for Mantle as he won the Triple Crown, batting .353 with 52 home runs and 130 RBIs. "Brown Eyed Handsome Man" — Chuck Berry (Single, 1956) Although it’s not a baseball song in and of itself, it bears mentioning here. Forgive Chuck Berry when he said, “Two-three the count, with nobody on. He hit a high fly into the stand.” Berry probably meant “Three-two” and we’ll cut him some slack. The rest of the famous lyric, “Roundin’ third, he was headin’ for home, it was a brown eyed handsome man that won the game. It was a brown eyed handsome man,” was used in part by John Fogerty on his 1985 single, “Centerfield.” "Let’s Go, Go-Go White Sox" — Captain Stubby and the Buccaneers (Single, 1959) “Let’s Go, Go-Go White Sox” was written by former White Sox minor leaguer (and Chicago native) Al Trace and his friend Walter Jagiello. The title is a reference to the “Go-Go” White Sox team that made it to the 1959 World Series. The songwriting duo gave the song to Tom Fouts, leader of Captain Stubby and the Buccaneers, a popular local country band at the time. "It’s a Beautiful Day for a Ball Game" — The Harry Simeone Songsters (Single, 1960) This song can still be heard at major league ballparks across the country. WGN AM-720 would frequently use it during their pregame shows leading up to Cubs broadcasts. "D-O-D-G-E-R-S Song (Oh, Really? No. O’Malley)" — Danny Kaye (Single, 1962) This song was a huge hit during the Dodgers' pennant chase of 1962 and describes a bottom-of-the-ninth rally against the Giants. It was written by Herbert Baker and Sylva Fine. Danny Kaye was one of the original owners of the Seattle Mariners. He and his business partner, Lester Smith, owned the team until 1981. "Knock It Out of the Park" — Sam & Dave (Single, 1970) Soul duo Sam & Dave were a few years past the height of their popularity by 1970, and this song was sort of the beginning of the end for the group. It failed to chart and the duo split up by June 1970, only to get back together less than a year later. While the song is not actually about baseball at all, it features enough lyrical metaphors to qualify. Besides, songwriters Dave Crawford and Willie Martin might have been ahead of their time with some of the lyrical philosophies, as the current trends of the game favor the home run ball above all else. “When you swing, swing for the fences, "Hitting in a double play just don’t make no sense.” "Catfish" — Bob Dylan (Unreleased, 1972) Bob Dylan and Jacques Levy wrote this song as a tribute to Hall of Fame pitcher Jim “Catfish” Hunter. It was originally intended to be on Dylan’s 1972 album Desire , but did not see official release until 1991. The Dylan version is not on Youtube, so we’ve linked to Joe Cocker’s version, which was actually released first. "Bill Lee" — Warren Zevon (Bad Luck Streak in Dancing School, 1980) When “Excitable Boy” came out in 1978, Boston Red Sox pitcher Bill “The Spaceman” Lee became a huge fan of the album. He would even drop lyrics from Warren Zevon songs into his postgame interviews. Zevon took notice and by 1980 had written and released a short song (1:37 to be exact) about Bill Lee. “And I’m standing in the middle of the diamond all alone. "I always play to win when it comes to skin and bone” The song features Glenn Frey singing harmony vocals. "Talkin’ Baseball (Willie, Mickey & The Duke)" — Terry Cashman (Single, 1981) Terry Cashman describes the history of baseball from the 1950’s to the 1980’s. The original picture sleeve for the Lifesong records single features Duke Snyder, Willie Mays and Mickey Mantle. The song shouts out 30 baseball players by name. The sheet music for the song is in Cooperstown, and Cashman was honored at Hall of Fame Weekend in 2011. "A Dying Cub Fan’s Last Request" — Steve Goodman (Single, 1981) Growing up in Albany Park, Steve Goodman was a lifelong Cubs fan. When he wrote the song in 1981 the Cubs had not been to the playoffs in 36 years and had lost at least 90 games 13 times. The song calls the Cubs the “doormat of the National League” and describes Wrigley Field as an “ivy-covered burial ground.” “I’d forsake my teachers "To go sit in the bleachers "In flagrant truancy” Cubs general manager Dallas Green thought the song was too depressing and supposedly banned the song from being played at the ballpark. "I Love L.A." — Randy Newman (Single, 1983) OK, OK, so we’re bending the rules a bit here. The lyrics in this synthesizer-laden hit were more of a backhanded compliment, of sorts, to the city of Los Angeles — not baseball. However, the song gained newfound fame when it was used during a montage during the 1988 film, “The Naked Gun,” where umpire Frank Drebbin (Leslie Nielsen) tried to foil a silly assassination attempt by Reggie Jackson on Queen Elizabeth II. The scene was filmed at Dodger Stadium and is still used when the real-life Dodgers win a game. Fun fact: The scene also features 20-year MLB veteran Jay Johnstone and current MLB umpire Joe West. “You can’t throw an umpire out of the game!” "Go Cubs Go" — Steve Goodman (Single, 1984) Steve Goodman wrote “Go Cubs Go” at the request of WGN AM-720, and supposedly to spite Cubs general manager Dallas Green, who was not a fan of Goodman’s 1981 song “A Dying Cub Fan’s Last Request.” “Go Cubs Go” was recorded with several members of the 1984 roster helping out on the chorus.

MLB.COM First start back from surgery a win for Bailey By Mark Sheldon / MLB.com | @m_sheldon | July 31st, 2016 SAN DIEGO - Homer Bailey isn't the sentimental type, which didn't change during Sunday's long-awaited 2016 debut. But the Reds veteran starting pitcher certainly appreciated what it meant to return from Tommy John surgery on his elbow and 15 months of rehabilitation. Bailey earned the win with his solid performance in Cincinnati's 3-2 victory over the Padres. He threw 5 2/3 innings, allowing two earned runs, four hits, three walks and had six strikeouts while throwing 89 pitches. "It was great to be back out with your teammates when you've been watching them for about a year-and-a-half and wanting to be out there. To see those guys, I know how they've always had my back," Bailey said after his first big league start since April 23, 2015. Bailey's first inning wasn't a clean one with three hits, but none were very hard contact - two groundballs and a soft liner. Following Jabari Blash's two-out single in the first, Bailey essentially had his way with San Diego while retiring the next 14 batters in a row. "For the next four innings, he was really locked in," Reds manager Bryan Price said. That included a nine-pitch third inning and striking out the side in the fourth.

  • Cincinnati Reds'
    Cincinnati Reds Press Clippings August 21, 2017 THIS DAY IN REDS HISTORY 1990-Billy Hatcher becomes the last Red to double four times in one game, matching a club record, during a victory, 8-1, over the Cubs MLB.COM Castillo flashes potential in grinding start By Jaylon Thompson / MLB.com | August 20th, 2017 + 2 COMMENTS ATLANTA -- Luis Castillo continued to strengthen his case to become a potential frontline starter for the Reds. He didn't have the best command of his pitches, but he battled to limit the Braves to a pair of runs in the Reds 8-1 loss on Sunday at SunTrust Park. Castillo was clean during his first trip through the Braves' lineup. However, he quickly accelerated his pitch count as the Braves fouled off some quality pitches. He also ran into some trouble in the third inning as he allowed two runs on a double by Braves outfielder Nick Markakis that split the gap in right field. "I didn't have my best stuff today, but I went out there and competed," Castillo said through an interpreter. "I made my mistakes and I paid for it." Although he took the loss in his shortest start of the season, Castillo made sure to keep the Reds in the game. He limited the Braves to four hits and racked up eight strikeouts, five of which came in the first eight batters of the game. "I went out there and did the best I could to go deeper in the game," Castillo said. "After that mistake, I think I pitched really well." According to Statcast™, Castillo balanced his two-seam fastball, which topped out at 97 mph, with a strong changeup inside to right-handed hitters.

  • 'Wild Thing' Legend – but Williams Loaded the Bases with Hits In
    They print ‘Wild Thing’ legend – but Williams loaded the bases with hits in ’89 Cubs opener By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Friday, January 31st, 2013 In an explanatory scene from John Ford’s “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance,” a pundit explained why James Stewart’s acclaimed title feat, which he didn’t do, was firmly en- trenched in history. Paraphrasing, the fellow said when faced with writing about facts or the legend, “print the legend.” And so it was also with Mitch Williams in his Cubs debut on Opening Day, Tuesday, April 4, Succeeding his former status as a dramatic ninth-inning pitch- er, Mitch Williams now can hold an audience with his baseball 1989 at Wrigley Field. storytelling. The grand entrance for lefty Williams “Wild Thing” act as closer by now features him walking the bases loaded, then striking out the side, in the ninth inning of the Cubs’ 5-4 victory over the Phillies. The walk on the wild side, then the trio of whiffs, simply comes off as more stylish and dra- matic. But through the decades, baseball events not only get embellished, they also somehow merge with other dramatic happenings. In this instance, Williams and Sam Jones’ ninth -inning escape acts, both against Pennsylvania teams, tend to blend together in the minds of too many Cubs’ fans. www.ChicagoBaseballMuseum.org [email protected] On May 12, 1955, also at Wrigley Field, curveball specialist Jones did walk three Pirates in a row starting off the ninth while he had a no-hitter going. Jones, first African- American pitcher in Cubs history, passed Gene Freese, Preston Ward and Tom Saffel to load ‘em up for Dick Groat.
