  • Classic American game and song. Baseball is life - been playing for years, many more of my future generations to play after me

  • i remember listening to this song when i was younger, it was my favorite

  • remind me my dad.

  • This meaning of this song is to never give up on YOUR hopes, dreams, and ambitions. If YOU want something out of life, it is on YOU to work towards that goal that YOU want to accomplish. Nobody cares if YOU want to accomplish something; YOU are responsible for YOUR successes. If YOU want to succeed in anything via athletics, military, etc. then YOU need to put the time in to whatever it is that YOU want to succeed in, and work YOUR ass off for the end result, should YOU work hard enough...:).

  • this is sooo cute

  • lol, i cant believe no one said anything about the fact that Kenny Rogers is with child.

  • This song is about how the boy says he is the greatest, as most of us did at his age, but he throws the ball and misses. 3 times this happens, then instead of getting sad because he missed the ball three times, he thought, well I didnt know I could pitch like that. This song is about how the boy didnt get bothered by the fact that he missed every time....

  • Well my sister summer had to do a play with this song

  • my babe had me listen to this song n now whenever i hear it it reminds me of her

  • omg today we in my class we were making infrenses on this song and we thought that he was at a baseball game and i was like what????????????!!!!!!!! then we saw the end and all of us just had a confusing face lol!!!!!!!!!!

    I am still confused kenny rogers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!! U HAVE ME SOOOOOOOOOOOOO CONFUSED HELP MEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IM ONLY 9!!!!

  • Remember when you could watch a video without having to sit through commercials?

    Remember when music videos were uploaded by users and not VEVO

    Remember when all the info was to the right of the video?

    Remember you could rate a video 1-5 stars?

    Remember the famous yellow subscribe button?

    Remember when the users controlled the site and not corporations?

    Post this in every video and lets start a youtube revolution!

    Thumbs up to keep at the top of the page!!!

  • The message is life can be seen in two lights, positive and negative. Now which makes the better story?

    Like I know its about baseball, but whats the message?

  • "For better or for worse we are what our creativity leads us to believe." Garry M. Perza Jr.

  • "Life is Baseball, Baseball is Life" quote from a guy a went to high school with.

  • this video sais it all. life has its up's and down's but dont let them bring you to the ground .

  • how can poeple dislike a song about a little kid who you would think would be discouraged about striking out and yet he is happy he is the greatest pitcher.

  • i love roger maris.. i love the smell of a glove when u hold it to your face.. i love the sound of a baseball hitting the bat... i love the feeling of catching a fly ball.. i love throwing a double play... i love sliding.. i love getting dirty.. i love the mentality of the sport.. i love my name called when i got to the plate.. i love staring down the pitcher.. i love baseball

  • 11 trolls that are not the greatest

  • this song reminds me of a younger me...standing in the back yard with a stick pickin up rocks and hittin them "out of the park"...times were much simpler back then at that age but thats not what this song is about...this song is about not letting life get you down no matter how rough it can get you just gotta keep on swingin and sooner or later, with alot of effort and determination, youll blast one :) this song means the world to me and its going to be played at my funeral

  • every time i hear this song it reminds me of my grandpa who passed away several years ago and this was our song we played every time we were together. he taught me the things about baseball and brought me into the love of sports and i will never forget that and this song.

  • @elementals4avatar try "Centerfeild" by John Fogerty.

  • @elementals4avatar the cheap seats by alabama great song lol

  • @hunterdude543 u got me hooked on that song now lol

  • @elementals4avatar I don't think so. Real ballplayers don't use the term "baseballer". You are a fraud.

  • @MrOzgood dude, when i wrote that, I was 13 years old, and i'm from the Netherlands, so... My English was just not as good as some other americane dude...

  • I just remember doing stuff very similar to this when I was younger, and I really like this song, it is kind of a little cheer up for me when I am having a rough day

  • i cant sing very well but i know i can sing this

  • lesbians wen there hugging i think love this song

  • I'm a big kenny rogers and bob marley fan there is always a message in their songs and no matter how many years has pass their songs never get stale and this song is one of my favorite kenny song telling us there is always a positive in every situation it always brought tears to my eyes.

  • Baseball sucks, but amazing song.

  • i love this song

  • love this song, and for some reason this song always brings tears to my eyes :)

  • @madochio your right this song is great but the message is better its all about never giving up. My 16 year old loves this song he told me once that when hes feeling down he listens to this song off a disc i made for him and he knows its only bad for a little while till he changes things. I am glad i raised my kids to know only you can make the difference in your life, and you cant blame everyone else for your failures. They have come a long way in life with that thinking and they are strong.

  • STORY OF MY LIFE, at least in the last year or two. At some point, fail though we may, we learn we need to be pitching instead and go in that direction. Good message for sure. God bless all the players in this field we call life. Don't give up.

  • My 8 year old daughter plays softball and she LOVES this song!

  • @2013sls Everyone has an excuse for drug abuse!

  • God bless baseball!!! ; )

  • My friends is just like this XD he used to do the same thing throw the ball up and miss but if you pratice you get better now he barley ever misses

  • Awesome,still choked up.

  • if you don't like this song you will die.

  • this song sends such a good message! Always look at the brighter side of life!

  • One of the greatest song endings :-)

  • the best besides gambler.. it is the greatest

  • you got that right

  • A great video until they show Mark McGwire... How insulting to the "Real Greats" like Babe Ruth and Roger Maris who did it without steroids!

  • @nativeprincess1976

    amen to that. I liked your comment. I agree

  • @nativeprincess1976 Mark McGwire only used steriods to recover from his knee injury so dont go hating on people unless you no the real story

  • J'ai juste envie de dire:  Magnifique!!

  • You've got to love it!!!

  • One Of The Greatest Country Singers, Singing One Of The Greatest Country Songs.

  • Kenny rogers didn't write it either genius.

  • Hoboscouts, you are a sorry individual!

  • The only other song that made feel the same way as this song is Believe, by Brooks and Dunn. But this has a happy ending, and it does get you by surprise in a good way. ☺

  • I remember playin catch with my dad in the backyard i love him

  • Most awesome ending to a song EVER.

  • i cry so hard all the time when this plays, it reminds me of me and my dad and how we used to play in the backyard and now im older and wanting to quit playing softball because of coaches and when i listen to this it reminds me of the old times with my dad and how i need to play for the love cause its all i have left as a connection with my dad as he battles cancer and im scared i'll lose him.

  • 32bengals8, I wish I could dry your tears. Tell your dad he has to fight with all his might and not give up. Tell him he has to stay here for you. I know a lot about fighting cancer because so many in my family have had it. Me too. We have found some things that help. I will send you a message on your page and I will tell you some things to share with your dad that have helped my family. Maybe they will help him if he tries them. Hang in there. Be strong! And don't give up playing ball!

  • Thanks. that means alot to me.

  • LOVE IT!!!!!

  • my dad says this song is me...always looking to the brighter side. the side no one sees in the darkness. Love ya dad

  • Its the best song ever,

  • I love Kenny!

  • just like to say THANKU X

  • I love this song. I always get tears in my eyes when I hear it. It makes me think that we should look for the positive and make the best of our situations. Reminds me of my dad and my son and another baseball player I know.

  • OMG! It's hard to believe that I am actually in this music video, but it is true. This was shot in my hometown of Firebaugh,Ca. And they invited the city to come out and be a part of this music video. So if you want to see me go to 2:33 and you will see me in a blue jacket, at your left hand side in the middle! And that's me!

    This was a long time ago! A Really Really Long time ago! I was all young and everything! haha lol

  • you are so cool!

  • I love this song. Reminds me so much of me. The little boy was so determined to hit the ball that he never gave up until strike three. The kid will have the heart to do anything in life he wants to do because of that determination he has. Great music video to. Also love it.

  • awesome song, this song got me into country music. I love the message in it, i try to find the good in the bad all the time, maybe one day i will be able to master it like that little boy. Great video.

  • Everytime i was in the baseball field after my games and when my teamates went home but the lights were still on i would stay and just hit and practice by myself and kept playing this song on my myspace. And every game after words that was home i would do the same thing.

  • I love this video...it shows that no matter how hard you try you should never give up on anything...because you never know if something great will come out of it in the end.

  • i listen to this song when i warm up before every game i pitch

  • OK...made me cry. As a 62 year old, I recall the days my dad and I would play catch...miss you dad...!
