Willie, Mickey, and the Duke (Talkin' Baseball)

[imvinnybarbarino]

The Mick clearly had the most talent of the three.

[esl2k7]

talkin baseball!!!! what would the song be like today? that would be interesting.

[carlinrulez666]

Baseball is truly a beautiful game. I will always be a fan.

[vlessinger]

great video great memories. I can actually say that , growing up in the bronx during the fifties, I was fortunate to go to games at yankee stadium, polo grounds and ebbetts field to see all 3 play. Of course at age 12 when I found out the Giants were moving to CA, I cried. thanks for the viewing

[yuske2345789]

The LA dodgers are better than brooklyn dodgers. no offense brooklyn

[suda51fan]

please , wake up. where is your brain. there's is no place like ebbets field.

[yuske2345789]

I never said ebbets field sucks i said the Dodgers won more chapionships than they did in broklyn dude

[ClassicRock54]

Yep....Those Were The Days....RIP EBBETTS FIELD AND THE BROOKLYN DODGERS.....NOTHING WILL EVER BE THE SAME AGAIN

[acb06172005]

Isn't it true that Terry actually gets more requests for the softball version?

[vezina333]

TaLKING SOFTBALL WAS HORRIBLE.

[Maijson]

Talkin Softball is better

[gx3wino]

omg this song was changed for "Were talkin softball" for the simpsons !!

I love it!!!!

[Celticstrat]

Ah interesting response. Thrid world country! Im sorry, is not the US third world country these days.. Geeesas! Enjoy your baseball, we'll enjoy our grand sport. Perhaps when I come back to the US Ill go to GAME sometime and figure out what you YANKs see in it!

Euro-trash!lol

[Celticstrat]

You are easily entertained m8! Cricket is just as boring in my estimation, but it has about a billion fans in India, the UK as well Australia.

Im glad you like Baseball. Ill stick our Football,the one played with ones feet!

Not saying that its better or worse. It is just what we watch.

[melott77]

[Legendofzoom]

[funwithbilly]

Awsome song!

[chevronsbass]

Check out The Chevrons (Lullabye) circa 1960 on YouTube

Terry Cashman's first hit record with The Chevrons, before he wrote (Talking Baseball)

[SirSmokealotx]

wow, i just love baseball, it may be considered a boring sport but beeing good at it is worth it.

[fleury150]

very cool im 28 so it was nice to have a face to go with some of the less recognizable names

[DrewCombest]

forgot Don Mattingly.

[cokedude46]

Big Klu and Camp two great underated players who have been forgotten even from my generation.

[cokedude46]

Damn right Pete Rose needs to be in the Hall.Even though seeing him in the Phillie uniform makes me sick.But anyway thanks for the video.5 stars.

[DrewCombest]

if pete gets in then shoeless joe and buck weaver better get in to. especially since they didnt cheat and pete rose did.

[Briskout]

Weaver was one of the leaders of the pack and doesn't deserve to be reinstated, nevermind his subpar stats to get into the Hall.

Jackson on the other hand was a dumb hick who was conned into admitting he was part of the Scandal.

[cencee305]

Wish that i had seen these phenomenal players; especially Mickey i am a die hard Yankee fan & Mick is my favorite Yankee of all time.

[DrewCombest]

me 2. him and thurman munson

[pyro4561]

i been looking for cashmans song about the indians-anyone have it?

[saratogaken]

Yes I have the song about the Indians from Terry Cashman, and every other team, would you like it?

Kenneth

[keithsmove]

I love this song....

Grew up in the 70's and 80's....

Love Willie Mays and Duke Snider....

Long live the Brooklyn Dodgers!!

[iamteelynn]

Thanks for sharing this with me. Song is great

[irish89055]

I wish the "Great Alexander" was still pitching in Washington DC.. RIP Mr President... Ben, you're right, Sal would give a real close shave.... Great song indeed

[wbw910]

for all us thet lived thru the 81 stike,this kept us going.Long live the grand ole game!

[Travers54]

Awesome! a big 5 *****

[gwuerritto68]

fantastic, thanks for making this and posting it, and thanks to TC for a great song!

[beriflor]

hey mr chrischar 1969..let me tell you a little about mr sal maglie...check his pitching record dude, it's one of the highest winning percentages in history, and he was black balled by baseball for all his prime years because he jumped to the mexican league...he had the greatest curve in baseball history....want to get shave? if you're a right handed hitter facing this son of a bitch, he'll slice your whiskers off and you wouldn't even know it till you tried shaving the next day...

[nymetsfan9121]

is there a talkin baseball mets version

[maxshiffman]

There is a "talkin baseball and the mets" Assuming you're a fellow met fan, you'd love it. Unfortunately, no one has posted it yet!

[DBR00]

the song is available on Itunes

[maxshiffman]

by the way, i think it was made in 1980- george foster's first season w/ the mets

[WSOR4025]

Thats a heck of a center field in New York back then with Willie, Mickey & The Duke. When I pass away I hope that is my field of dreams to watch these greats at the Polo Grounds, old Yankee Stadium and Ebbets Field. What a great era of baseball.

[blacksx17]

Great song! The significance of this song is Willie Mays and Mickey Mantle both were given lifetime suspemsions from baseball for Gambling(but later to be reinstated in the early 80's).

[adobejoe]

Willie wasn't suspended for gambling. He was barred because he worked in PR at a Las Vegas Casino.

[esdio]

My previous comment was meant to be a direct reply to soxfan2514 who said:

Brett is the Greatest in the 80's for sure! but Garvey and Quisenberry do not belong in this song

[chrischar1969]

Does Sal Maglie or the friggen midget??

[johnnyv1938]

seeing as the song is talking about the 1950's the answer to maglie and gadel is yes.

[Doc418]

I know I'm a week late, but baseball fans. Happy New Year!!! :D

[CollapsedInMyLap]

You too Doc, nice to have it back!!!

[soxfan2514]

Brett is the Greatest in the 80's for sure! but Garvey and Quisenberry do not belong in this song

[esdio]

Well... write your own song! Of COURSE Garvey and Quiz belong... they fit Terry Cashman's requirements for the song! If, to go with my last meal, I could also have one song... this might have to be it! I've loved it from the time I first heard it...many years ago. What could be more mellifluous to hear than Cashman's singing Willll-eeeee, Mick-ey and the Dook!?!!! Say hey... say hey, say hay

[sayeretmatkal17021]

punished in the way it invests,unlike "cheap as dirt" nfl with the salary caps and "retired" players living under overpasses and homeless shelters.one would think the "rich" nfl would care for its own,especially after what they made for the league and do not be fooled by the money numbers on the nfl contracts, most players never even see that money by the way the contract is structured.nfl is fleeting and overhyped,mlb is forever!LET'S PLAY TWO!

[sayeretmatkal17021]

baseball is still baseball anad it continues to overcome all obstacles. it definitely draws nore fans than the nfl and its payroll is so much greater that its players need not be involved in fixed gambling as 1919 "black sox" or as nfl players even involved in animal cruelty! it should be, what has happened to the nfl with it seeming that an nfl player is making the news for illegal activity or a police sheet line-up each week.baseball has no salary cap so a team is either rewarded or ...

[chevronsbass]

Terry, Great job on this baseball song! and to think it all started for Terry cashman with a song in 1960 called (Lullabye) as lead singer for a group called The Chevrons from Washington Heights NYC,which is also featured on YouTube.

[715gilmoregirlsfan]
