Tiger Baseball Music Question
Feb 6, 2015, 10:57 AM
|
|
Hey guys, I'm the announcer for our HS Baseball team and I'm compiling music for pregame/mid innings. I haven't been to a Clemson baseball game in about 5 years, but when I went there (02-06) I used to love their use of more of the "classic" baseball tunes.
Can anyone help me out with what songs they usually or used to always play. I know Run Around Sue was one of the bigger pregame songs, but I also remember a organ/piano instrumental they used to play. Anyone know what the name of that was? Thanks!!

Don't use the idiotic tractor song. Centerfield is a good one though.

Rob Heller. He is now at Coastal Carolina doing the announcing for their football games. Search him on Facebook and send a message. He would be glad to assist.

Check the CDs from Ken Burns Baseball series for great baseball music. Chuck Brodsky, great singer/songwriter from Asheville has two Discs, Baseball Ballads One and Two-terrific baseball history stuff and some interesting little tidbits. Singer/songwriters David Olney and John McCutcheon have several songs as well. Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown has a permanent exhibit on Baseball and the Movies and Music and the staff there is very helpful.
My plea would be to play baseball music at the ballpark, educate and promote conversations about baseball--something Clemson has abandoned. How we don't do pieces of James Earl Jones Casey at the bat and play that #### YMCA is beyond me. For that matter, play the Lyrics to Take Me Out to the Ballgame and tell the great story behind that.

Not really a baseball song but I have heard Apache played at games before and it seems to go over well.
