2. Paradise by the Dashboard Light - Meatloaf

I once learnt all these words for a bet for a "Cincinatti Juice". Boy I must have been desperate. :rolling:

Ok, here we go, we got a real pressure cooker
going here, two down, nobody on, no score,
bottom of the ninth, there's the wind-up and
there it is, a line shot up the middle, look
at him go. This boy can really fly!
He's rounding first and really turning it on
now, he's not letting up at all, he's gonna
try for second; the ball is bobbled out in center,
and here comes the throw, and what a throw!
He's gonna slide in head first, here he comes, he's out!
No, wait, safe--safe at second base, this kid really
makes things happen out there.
Batter steps up to the plate, here's the pitch--
he's going, and what a jump he's got, he's trying
for third, here's the throw, it's in the dirt--
safe at third! Holy cow, stolen base!
He's taking a pretty big lead out there, almost
daring him to try and pick him off. The pitcher
glance over, winds up, and it's bunted, bunted
down the third base line, the suicide squeeze in on!
Here he comes, squeeze play, it's gonna be close,
here's the throw, there's the play at the plate,
holy cow, I think he's gonna make it!

3. Walk of Life - Dire Straits :cool:

Here comes Johnny singing I gotta woman
Down in the tunnels, trying to make it pay
He got the action, he got the motion
Oh yeah, the boy can play
Dedication devotion
Turning all the night time into the day

The video for this song also features some baseball clips from the 1980s :)

4. Centrefield - John Fogerty

Well beat the drum and hold the phone
The sun came out today
We're born again there's new grass on the field
A-' roundin' third and headed for home
It's a brown-eyed handsome man
Anyone can understand the way I feel.

Put me in Coach
I'm ready to play today
Put me in Coach
I'm ready to play today
Look at me
I can be
Centerfield

Well I spent some time in the Mudville Nine
Watchin' it from the bench
You know I took some lumps when the Mighty Case struckout
So Say Hey Willie tell the Cobb
And Joe DiMaggio
Don't say it ain't so
You know the time is now.

Got a beat-up glove a homemade bat
And a brand new pair of shoes
You know I think it's time
To give this game a ride
Just to hit the ball and touch 'em all
A moment in the sun
It's gone and you can tell that one good bye.

5. I Won't Be Home For Christmas - Blink 182
It's the best I could do, I can't think of any other song that mentions baseball!!
And then I guess I must've snaped
Because I grabbed a baseball bat
And made them all run for shelter

"Lazy stadium night
Catfish on the mound.
"Strike three," the umpire said,
Batter have to go back and sit down.

Catfish, million-dollar-man,
Nobody can throw the ball like Catfish can."
