Been sitting on this bunch of songs awhile, probably because songs about baseball don’t excite me much. But Dylan apparently really likes them, and his 4th Theme Time Radio Hour was on the sport. I do have an Olympics baseball game on, so it seemed a good time to post it. Not all these songs are really about baseball (”Release The Bats,” “Open The Door, Homer,” “Sultans Of Swing,” “Yankee Go Home”), but they sound like they could be.

1. Jonathan Richman “Walter Johnson”
2. Architecture In Helsinki “Feather In A Baseball Cap”
3. Death Cab For Cutie “No Joy In Mudville”
4. Clap Your Hands Say Yeah “Yankee Go Home”
5. Whiskeytown “Empty Baseball Park”
6. Thunderclap Newman “Open The Door, Homer”
7. Yo La Tengo “Moby Octopad”
8. The Birthday Party “Release The Bats”
9. Dire Straits “Sultans Of Swing”
10. Bruce Springsteen “Glory Days”
11. Cowboy Copas “Three Strikes And You’re Out”
12. Bob Dylan “Catfish”
