Two from the score of Take Me Out to the Ballgame:
“Take Me Out to the Ball Game” - Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra, reprise by Esther Williams
“O’Brien to Ryan to Goldberg” - Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra and Jules Munshin
“Home Run on the Keys” - composed by Zez Confrey & Byron Gay, supposedly with input from Babe Ruth.
Previous mixes have included the original Talkin’ Baseball, various team versions, and yes, the Simpsons one too. “Well, Mr. Burns had done it; the power plant had won it; with Roger Clemens clucking all the while…” Great stuff.
Looks like there’s a Braves version, I think I may put that in. Thanks for the reminder.
I’ll go geographic:

[li]Oh Atlanta - Little Feat[/li][li]Welcome to Atlanta - Jermaine Dupri and Ludacris[/li][li]Alabama Pines - Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit[/li][li]John Hiatt - Train to Birmingham[/li][/ul]
One of the things I like about the Red Sox is they are the closest thing you’ll find to a baseball version of an English football team.
