So, the M's lost their last game, and the Yanks have won their last two, but I'm not letting that get to me. What I might let get to me is the fact that Jeff Weaver is slated to pitch, and with an 0-4 record and an 18.26 ERA (yeah, that's not a typo, but it is just about the worst ERA I've ever seen) I don't know how well he's going to do on Saturday. So, in order to keep up my good spirits, I've put together a list of great ballpark songs. You know, the ones that you can't help but smile when you hear them. So, here they are, in no particular order:
- "Louie Louie" by The Kingsmen - as the unofficial state rock song of Washington State, it's acquired a special place down at Safeco and in my heart.
- "Takin' Care of Business" by BTO - a great blue collar song for a great blue collar sport.
- "Centerfield" by John Fogerty - OK, so maybe a little overplayed, but it still brings back memories of Little League.
- "Centerfold" by J. Giles Band - Not to be confused with the previous entry, Centerfold has one of the greatest riffs for singing along.
- "Sweet Caroline" by Neil Diamond - one for the BoSox fans.
- "Walk of Life" by Dire Straits - another great riff mostly heard after a walk (go figure).
- "Glory Days" by Brice Springsteen - Pure American nostalgia.
Well, there it is folks. Feel free to post any additions to the comments section.
