Members Matximus Posted August 3, 2009 Members Share Posted August 3, 2009 Nice poem!!! I Don't know if it'd work as a song. Just so many words. Also, there aren't many good popular songs about baseball. It's kind of a hammy topic in the wrong hands. Kind of like songs that drop the word "Rock n Roll." There's that Line in American Pie about Joe D. That worked. And Belle and Sebastian had a song that names checks Mike Piazza, which was cool. I can't think of any others.

Members emotionography Posted August 3, 2009 Author Members Share Posted August 3, 2009 Thanks Matximus...you're probably right about too wordy for a song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members maddrummerdude Posted August 3, 2009 Members Share Posted August 3, 2009 Awesome. Now can you write a song about the no-hitter pitched by Sanchez last month? (I'm a Giants fan ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members emotionography Posted August 3, 2009 Author Members Share Posted August 3, 2009 ...that was mere no hitter...only 18 perfect games in the history of baseball and that catch was classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members maddrummerdude Posted August 3, 2009 Members Share Posted August 3, 2009 ...that was mere no hitter...only 18 perfect games in the history of baseball and that catch was classic. Hey now, Sanchez's no hitter was pretty much a perfect game. He didn't walk anyone, the only person that got on base was due to an error made by Uribe. In other words, Sanchez pitched a perfect game, but it was messed up by the third baseman. Wait, where am I? Isn't this the ESPN forums? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members A Happy Crowd Posted August 3, 2009 Members Share Posted August 3, 2009 I love baseball but I've never really tried to work it into a song. There was an album released not too long ago from the Baseball Project, which is a side project involving members of REM and the Dream Syndicate.

Members MusicalSchizo Posted August 5, 2009 Members Share Posted August 5, 2009 Cool poem! I've been thinking of writing a series of dirges about my beloved team, the New York Mets. At least it won't be as painful as the past couple of years because they can't lose the division on the last day of the season again (since they probably won't even be in contention to win the division because of all their injuries and inconsistent play). Oh, and Matximus: The Joe DiMaggio lines you might be thinking of were in "Mrs. Robinson", by Simon & Garfunkel - there's no mention of Joe (or baseball, really, unless you count "it landed foul on the grass") in "American Pie".
