In the original version of the song, he sang about the Red Sox and Cubs. He clearly replaced the Red Sox with the Phillies. Then the Phillies won. Probably have to switch to the Royals or the Pirates. By the way, McCutcheon is a great guy and gives a great concert. As for "Hail to the Chief," that's why he called those songs "Short Shelf-Life Classics"
Yes. It's on "Hail to the Chief!", which is one of his political albums. Most of the record is pretty dated - it's from the Bush administration and a lot of the songs are about then-current events - but it's also all solid songwriting.
Wow. A great tribute to the game.

You know - us Phillies Fans aren't so broken hearted anymore. What team is he singing about now, anyway.
