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 game of softball.
"Well, Mr. Burns had done it The power plant had won it With Roger Clemens clucking all the while Mike Scioscia's tragic illness made us smile While Wade Boggs lay unconscious on the barroom tile" - Terry Cashman in Talkin' Softball
