Harry Caray |
Take Me Out To The Ballgame |
There is no other song that could be #1 on this list and the Wrigley Field tradition of legendary broadcaster Harry Caray hanging out of the booth, sloshing his beer on the fans below and leading the Cub faithful in his spirited, off-key rendition of the song is pure Americana. |

John Fogerty |
Centerfield |
The best baseball song written in this era, it gets played at nearly every Major League Baseball game...every night. |
|
|
3 |
Abbott & Costello |
Who's On First? |
Not technically a song, but how can a list about baseball exist without this comedy classic? |
|
|
4 |
Terry Cashman |
Talkin' Baseball |
At some point, versions were cut special for almost every team, but this was the one that started it all. A slice of baseball history in song. |

Les Brown & His Orchestra |
Joltin' Joe DiMaggio |
In Ken Burn's documentary Baseball, this song was played several times and it made you realize how important the game was to this country in the early 20th century. |

Bruce Springsteen |
Glory Days |
The song is not only about baseball, but it's the closest thing in a rock song. Pure Bruce and it always makes you feel like summer. |
|

7 |
The Treiners |
Say Hey |
Another song from the good ol' days featuring Willie Mays himself. Catchy chorus and it shows how big baseball stars were back in the day. |

Steve Goodman |
A Dyin' Cub Fan's Last Request |
As rich a tradition as the Yankees have in winning, the Cubs have in misery. This song captures that feeling of hope and failure perfectly. |
|

9 |
Eddie Vedder |
All The Way |
Pearl Jam singer, Eddie Vedder started singing this song while in the Chicago area (he is a lifelong Cubs fan) and it has become somewhat of an anthem. The song is more hopeful thatn other Cubs songs in the past. |

The Intruders |
Love Is Like A Baseball Game |
Comparing love to a baseball game. This soulful song is all about metaphor. |
