grampa Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I just read that Fogerty's song will be part of the Baseball Hall if Fame festivities this year, a first. The song is 25 years old this year. How cool is that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daryl M Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 With a hot dog in one hand and a brewski in the other, I dare you not to smile in between innings when that signature guitar riff kicks the song off. As classic as the game itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riverside Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Taking nothing away from Fogarty or the fondness folks have for the tune, but the lyrics kind of point to a kid who's not otherwise good enough to be in in the first place - who begs the coach to play?

TommyK Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 That IS the whole point at that age. Just put them on the field so they can learn the game. Winning is NOT everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
