Contrary to what John Fogerty might tell you, there are very few good songs about baseball. “Centerfield” is terrible. “Piazza, New York Catcher” is technically about baseball, but something tells me the folks in Belle & Sebastian couldn’t explain, say, the DH. I’ll stand by both 3rd Bass albums, but aside from one song sampling Lou Costello, there’s not...

For 1991, the underrated classic from the forgotten 3rd Bass.
