Talkin' Cardinals Baseball

In 1981 Terry Cashman recorded what is more commonly referred to as Talkin' Baseball, which was originally called Willie, Mickey And The Duke. It became — and still is — a very popular pop song that pays tribute to players from the fifties and a variety of variations were released during the following seasons. What follows below is a follow-up to that classic tune which specifically pays tribute to the St. Louis Cardinals.

"With a Flash out of Fordham, They knocked in runs and scored 'em. The Gashouse Gang was full of fight and nerve. The Redbirds were the rage, The Wild Horse of the Osage, And Paul and Dizzy were keeping 'em busy with heat and curves!" - Terry Cashman in Talkin' Cardinals Baseball

"With a Flash out of Fordham,
They knocked in runs and scored 'em.
The Gashouse Gang was full of fight and nerve.
The Redbirds were the rage,
The Wild Horse of the Osage,
And Paul and Dizzy were keeping 'em busy with heat and curves!

I'm Talkin' Baseball.
Hornsby, Haines, and Ripper.
Cardinal baseball.
Leo was the Lipper!

Ducky, Country, Red, Kurowski, too.
Slats, he had that Golden Glove of glue.
I'm Talkin' Baseball.
Baseball in St. Lou.

With that Man, no one could match him.
Mort pitchin', Walker catchin'
St. Louis was another Cooperstown.

Rookies of the year,
Bill and Wally started here.
Brock on the run,
The Cardinals won, and were pennant-bound!

I'm Talkin' Baseball!
Javier and Carlton.
Cardinal baseball.
Billy White and Washburn.

Boyer, Groat, and Curt, McCarver, too.
Cepeda was an MVP, it's true.
I'm Talkin' Baseball! Baseball in St. Lou!

Now, this town on the Mississippi.
Is Handy with the Blues.
And the King of Beers is right at home,
Where Gibson made the hitters moan.

Seventeen went down in just one Fall.
Now, Gibby's in the Hall!

The Cardinals have tradition.
Each year they have a mission.
To end up in the Classic in the Fall.
New names join the old, another team unfolds.
The Cards look mighty, they're managed by Whitey.
So, let's Play Ball!

I'm Talkin' Baseball.
Hendrick, Keith Hernandez.
Cardinal baseball.
Oberkfell and Sanchez.

Darrell, Forsch, and Tommy, Sutter, too.
When Ozzie fields, the Cards are comin' through.
Talkin' Baseball. Baseball in St. Lou!
Talkin' Baseball. Baseball in St. Lou!

The Man! The Man! The Man!
Cardinal baseball.
Baseball in St. Lou.
The Man! The Man! The Man!

Well, Stanley Frank, he was in the bank.
The Donora Greyhound, Talkin' Baseball.
Baseball in St. Lou.
The Man! The Man! The Man!

Yeah, Gibby would call: 'Hey, just gimme the ball'!
The Man! The Man! The Man!
I'm Talkin' Baseball...
