The JayTunes Jam

I was thrilled to spend part of my Father’s Day at the Metrodome watching my beloved Twins try (in vain) to defeat the Houston Astros.  Here are my favorite baseball-themed songs:

• The Boys of Summer by Don Henley
• Centerfield by John Fogerty
• The Cheap Seats by Alabama
• Did You See Jackie Robinson Hit That Ball by Natalie Cole
• Glory Days by Bruce Springsteen
• Joe DiMaggio Done It Again by Billy Bragg & Wilco
• Life Is a Ballgame by The Persuasions
• Right Field by Peter, Paul & Mary
• Talkin’ Baseball (Twins Version) by Terry Cashman
• Take Me Out to the Ballgame by Carly Simon

The Persuasions and Natalie Cole tunes are new to me, but definitely worth checking out.  As a former CF, I’ve always been fond of the Fogerty song.  I know the Cashman song is a little cheesy, but iTunes didn’t have “We’re Gonna Win, Twins!”

Did I miss your favorite?  Leave a comment to let me know.
