**Baseball songs** _(or with baseball-related terminology_)

1. Talkin’ Baseball - Terry Cashman
2. A Dying Cub Fan’s Last Request - Steve Goodman

_Do they still play the blues in Chicago when baseball season rolls around?_  
_When the snow melts away, do the Cubbies still play in their ivy-covered burial ground?_  
_When I was a boy they were my pride and joy, but now they only bring fatigue  
To the home of the brave, the land of the free and the doormat of the National League_

8. Take Me Out to the Ball Game - Traditional

Words and music by Jack Norworth and Albert von Tilzer in 1908, but no one artist is known for the song. I think that “Traditional” works as a placeholder, though.
