Comment:

Baseball lore isn't just about the game; it's also about the people who play it. And three of its legends join the likes of Joltin' Joe DiMaggio and Catfish Hunter, immortalized forever in song. Joe Pernice & Jose Ayerve go all new wave dance-y — complete with go-go-girl chorus — on Manny Ramirez in "Moonshot Manny" from the Farrelly Brothers' film [i]Fever Pitch[/i], based on Nick Hornby's novel. Jerry Jeff Walker twangs out a career-spanning play-by-play in "Nolan Ryan (He's a Hero to Us All)," reeling off stats on the Hall of Fame strikeout king like a 12-year-old with posters tacked up to his bedroom wall. And "Gratitude (For Curt Flood)" by the Baseball Project rocks a minor-key remembrance for the major-league star who took his beef against baseball's reserve clause all the way to the Supreme Court — and lost. Four years after Flood sacrificed his career, the clause was finally dismantled; every high-bucks big-leaguer — in [i]every[/i] sport — is in his debt.
