I had hoped that the rendition of "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" would have been recorded with a baseball stadium organ and maybe even with the crowd singing along.The guitar version was cute but not in the "ballpark" of reality. Free Music Review: Puts me in the baseball mood

This is a great baseball CD.True you probably would have to create a 10 CD box set to cover all the great songs of baseball, but this CD will get you started on a private collection.
I have an mp3 file of the Who's On First bit, but this version is 10 times better since it has been digitized.
Joltin' Joe, the Willie Mays Song, and D-O-D-G-E-R-S Song (Oh Really? No, O'Malley) are songs you'll find yourself singing along with.
My two favorites on this CD are Land of Wrigley and Dying Cub Fan's Last Request. Steve Goodman really makes last request a good listen. What a good singer.
Talkin' Baseball is also a song you'll be singing along with, and you'll be picturing baseball days of old.
The Lasorda recording is classic, and had me laughing the hardest.
Baseball Dreams is the kind of song I could picture putting behind a highlight film.
The only two major downsides to this CD are the recording of We Are the Champions not being sung by the right group, and I just can't listen to Casy At the Bat more than once every so often. That reading really gets on my nerves.
Other than that this is a perfect CD to begin a collection of great baseball songs. Get this for playing in the car on your way to the next baseball game, or at your childs little league game.

This is (obviously) a compilation of baseball related songs, sketches and what have you. The songs here cover a wide variety of styles, including bluegrass, big band, rhythm & blues, pop, jazz, novelty, country, rock, soul, a capella, folk, gospel and rap. Not all of the songs are good, but a majority of them are. Of course, one of the highlights is Abbott & Costello's classic routine "Who's On First". The classic poem "Casey at the Bat" is here, but the recitation by DeWolf Hopper is a bit too "hammy" for my taste. Not everything here will appeal to everyone, but like I said, there is more good than bad. Recommended for baseball fans.Free Music Review: B"s GH
