Talkin' Giants 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 San Francisco Giants.

"A trio of Alou came here to play, Talkin' Baseball, The Giants by the Bay." - Terry Cashman in Talkin' Giants Baseball

The Flying Scot
He hit the shot
The names McGraw and Melvin Ott
Bill Terry and Christy Mathewson
Carl Hubbel he was King
Monte Irvin did his thing
And in '58 the Golden Gate saw the Giants marchin' in

I'm Talkin' Baseball
Toothpick, Antonelli
Giants baseball
Davenport and Bailey
McCormick, Harvey Kuenn, and Willie Mays
A trio of Alou came here to play
Talkin' Baseball
The Giants by the Bay

Cepeda and Stretch were back to back
Rookies but I'll tell you Jack
Sanford led the way in '62
Marichal kicking high
Willie's cap would fly
Nothing could match his basket catch the legend grew

I'm Talkin' Baseball
Pierce and Haller, Pillar
Giants baseball
McGann and Bonds and Miller
Tito, Maddux, Mathews & Jim Ray
And Gaylord's spittin' image had its day
Talkin' Baseball
The Giants by the Bay

Talkin Baseball in San Francisco
It's been a lot of years
Pitchin', catchin', and hittin' pretty
That's how the Giants won the city
Spending summer seasons in the sun
Playin' hit and run

Yeah the Giants have tradition
Position by position
And baseball is a day game after all
New names join the team
To start another dream
They'll give us the thrills with Barry and Hill
So let's play ball

I'm Talkin' Baseball
There's Dunston and Bacardi
Giants baseball
Matt Williams home run party
Carreon and Thompson sure can play
There's Fernandez and Beck to save the day
Talkin' Baseball
The Giants by the Bay

Talkin' Baseball
The Giants by the Bay

Talkin' Baseball
Say Hey, Say Hey, Say Hey
Giants baseball
Baseball by the Bay

Say Hey, Say Hey, Say Hey
San Francisco
Giants by the Bay
Say Hey, Say Hey, Say Hey
Talkin' Baseball, baseball, baseball
Say Hey, Say Hey, Say Hey
...
