being that my lifetime batting average when I played baseball was probably .186, I'd have to at least play something cool before I whiffed on 3 pitches.

eight years pass...

anyone a subscriber to The Athletic? my understanding is that the two writers of this piece left "Centerfield" off their top 30, incurring boomer wrath, but more unforgivably included Terry Cashman's torturous "Talkin' Baseball."

And #1? The Mountain Goats' "Cubs in Five."

https://theathletic.com/1755923/2020/04/20/from-bob-dylan-to-the-strokes-the-30-greatest-baseball-songs-of-all-time/

You don't have to c&p the whole piece, but the 30 ranked titles would do.

Also this EW discussion was pretty fun:

oh yeah, Reddit has everything; top five:

“Cubs in Five,” The Mountain Goats

“Catfish,” Bob Dylan

“Talkin’ Baseball,” Terry Cashman

“All The Way,” Pearl Jam

“Piazza, New York Catcher,” Belle & Sebastian

No one tell them J0hn doesn't even like baseball anymore.

(Blushing) They got me...it didn't seem completely unthinkable when I first glanced at the story--the VU are indeed a NY institution--but when I saw the bit about Steve Reich farther down, that was a red flag. Honestly, I think I confused that site with this site:

In high school, circa '77 or '78, our basketball coach wanted us to run on the floor to Fleetwood Mac's "Don't Stop" (he was onto the Clinton vibe 15 years early), but we wanted to run out there to Aerosmith's "Sick as a Dog." One time we got our way and it was bliss.

I have a playlist with about twenty songs on this because I’ve discussed this at length with one of my friends. A sample:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1kEjj3Ej68

I can’t really explain this, you have to feel it, and to me this ‘feels’ like it fits the rhythm of batters in the box swinging their bat loopily before facing the pitcher, like batters setting their feet and wiggling their hips. I can’t explain it like I said.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y43PIs1Kuv8

I’m locked in, the bass is filling the stadium, I’m seeing your fastball like a changeup and it all looks middle middle

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGUIE844hxk

The intro is still incredible to me, top five favourite song ever and it’s called THE SHOW

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7z_dNHwlBzM

I’m Arizona Goldschmidt, you’re Tim Lincecum, I’m in the box seeing your pitches better than anyone in the league, the bass is in my bones and booming in my bat and I’m taking you deep like it’s batting practice.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRzqbKCk7Tw

It’s the bottom of the ninth, I’m NAME REDACTED and I smoked enough weed to fell an elephant and everything is very slow and clear like swimming in an ice bath.
