Weekly Top 10: Songs About Baseball

With the baseball season winding down (though mine technically ended months ago), I thought this would be an appropriate time to talk about some of our favorite songs about baseball. Most of them you probably know. One of them ("Today Is the Day") actually isn't, but since Yo La Tengo is named for a baseball-related term ("I've got it"), I had to pick a track from them. Also, please excuse the Joe Cocker version of "Catfish"-- Imeem didn't have Bob Dylan's original. And yes, "Meet the Mets" is one of the greatest baseball-related songs to ever grace this earth. Don't hate. It's been a rough year to be a Mets fan already, if you haven't noticed.
