[Vision2020] Ten Best Baseball Songs

Mon Apr 6 15:33:31 PDT 2009

Here is one about the all powerful Cubs from last season as sung by Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam.

"All the Way" - Eddie Vedder

Don't let anyone say that it's just a game.

For I've seen other teams and it's never the same.

When you're born in Chicago, you're blessed and you're healed.

First time you walk into Wrigley Field.

Our heroes wear pinstripes; heroes in blue.

They give us the chance to feel like heroes too.

Whether we'll win, and if we should lose,

We know someday we'll go all the way.

Yeah! Someday we'll go all the way.

We are one with the Cubs, with the Cubs we're in love.

Yeah, hold our head high as the underdogs.

We are not fair weather but foul weather fans!

We're like brothers in arms in the streets and the stands.

There's magic in the ivy and the old scoreboard.

The same one I stared at as a kid keeping score.

In a world full of greed I could never want more.

Someday we'll go all the way.

Yeah! Someday we'll go all the way.

Yeah, someday we'll go all the way.

Yeah! Someday we'll go all the way.

Someday we'll go all the way!

And here's to the men and the legends we've known.

Teaching us faith and giving us hope.

United we stand and united we'll fall,

Down to our knees the day we win it all.

Yeah, Ernie Banks said, "Oh let's play two."

Or did he mean 200 years?

In the same ballpark, our diamond, our jewel.

The home of our joy and our tears.

Keeping traditions and wishes made new.

The place where our grandfathers' fathers they grew.

A spiritual feeling if I ever knew.

And if you ain't been I am sorry for you.

And when the day comes, when that last winning run,

And I'm crying and covered in beer.

I'll look to the sky and know I was right.

To think someday we'll go all the way,

Yeah! Someday we'll go all the way.

Yeah, someday we'll go all the way.

Yeah! Someday we'll go all the way.

Yeah, someday we'll go all the way.

Yeah! Someday we'll go all the way.

Oh, someday we'll go all the way.

Yeah! Someday we'll go all the way.

Someday we'll go all the way.				

" 'Politics is the art of controlling your environment.' That is one of the key things I learned in these years, and I learned it the hard way. Anybody who thinks that 'it doesn't matter who's President' has never been Drafted and sent off to fight and die in a vicious, stupid War on the other side of the World -- or been beaten and gassed by Police for trespassing on public property -- or been hounded by the IRS for purely political reasons -- or locked up in the Cook County Jail with a broken nose and no phone access and twelve perverts wanting to stomp your ass in the shower. That is when it matters who is President or Governor or Police Chief. That is when you will wish you had voted." - Hunter S. Thompson

And best baseball movie ever?  "Bull Durham". Maybe the best sports movie, period.  Along with "Caddyshack".  Season opener, Mariners vs. the Twins at 5:00 today on Fox Sports Northwest.  Carl Westberg Jr.
