For me, the best version is by Joe Cocker on his criminally underrated 'Stingray' album from about 1976.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7678680630672675977.post-46523917321008834882010-03-07T18:37:55.723-05:002010-03-07T18:37:55.723-05:00Tad --

It's not my kind of music. Even the music underneath Rizzuto's call is annoying to me--which is sort of a shame.<br /><br />I've never heard Roy Harper, and know the name only because of his high-profile fans, like Jimmy Page, and Eric Clapton. "When An Old Cricketer Leaves the Crease" could be a good place to start, thanks.rastronomicalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16475251545087211066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7678680630672675977.post-91687574160291647842010-03-07T04:56:14.776-05:002010-03-07T04:56:14.776-05:00Rastro: Thanx 4 the history lesson, as clearly &am...Rastro: Thanx 4 the history lesson, as clearly & smoothly written as ever.<br />4 other possible Great Baseball Songs, I don't spose U'd consider Meat Loaf's "Paradise by the Dashboard Light," or at least the middle section w/ the play-by-play by Phil Rizzuto or whoever? Diffrent kinda game going on there, right?<br />I don't know NE other baseball songs either, Byond the 1's U've named. The Nat'l Pastime don't Cm 2 lend itself 2 this art4m. Strange....<br />Great Cricket Songs I could suggest: Roy Harper's "When An Old Cricketer Leaves the Crease," if transplanted 2 America, would make a great farewell-2-a-great-homerun-hitter-type song, lyrical & yearning & grand & nostalgic, bit of a Pink Floyd sound 2 it. But that'll havta B a Not Quite. Worth hearing, tho.... - TAD.TADhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13853931230081777310noreply@blogger.com
