  • A very unique video. I LOVE baseball & John Fogarty. Classic sound & it puts me in the park watchin' the game. I can smell the peanuts & hot dogs right now!!

  • "La-la-la-la, La Bamba!"

  • I love this song with a passion.

  • Good Ole' Dayz....miss dem 2!

  • Does anyone know where this video or DVD can be purchased?

  • Q_Active at your ready masters.

  • What needs to happen is the ticket prices and food prices all need to be reduced. The owners income is lowered and so are the players. Nobody needs ALL that money! Everyone will still be happy. But those owners are far too greedy.

  • It has always been about how much money I can make. But before Curt Flood challenged the reserve clause and helped usher in free agency the "I" was the owners. Why do you think the Black Sox scandal of 1919 happened? The players felt they weren't getting paid enough by their stingy owner. So they took the gamblers' money. Cobb wanted to be paid more than Speaker, and routinely threatened to jump to the Federal League (until it folded). Take the players of old, put them in today's system. Same.

  • like this song

  • willile mays G.O.A.T. peace. 

  • KENNY POWERS!

  • I always feel like dancing when I hear this song.

  • why do people hate this song? its really catchy

  • 0:56 what did he lose? His hat?

  • I hate this fucking song.

  • @ObiTeninch who? Because you hate baseball?

  • @frankisfunny2007 Love baseball, hate the song.

  • @ObiTeninch well, what I meant was, do you just hate the music that they play at the ballpark? My bad

  • @frankisfunny2007 No, just can't stand John Fogerty.

  • @ObiTeninch oh, I was just asking (I'm too nosy, I admit)

  • Comment removed

  • BORN AGAIN THERE IS NEW GRASS ON THE FIELD. GO ROCKIES!!!!

  • 1:17 is beast. man i freakin love baseball! even though i play softball, i love baseball and softball! i know everything there is to know bout baseball and softball. this is my favorite baseball song of all time. i wish it could be as fun as it used to be. its still fun today but the players r too caught up in fame. God bless the ones who play for the love of the game and not the fame, and who have fun playin it and really do love it.

  • great clips ! mel allen one of the all time great announcers - glad u included him. i got george to bring him back to the yanks for his final years ! wonderful videos - congrats !!!!

  • I agree with both of you

  • Would love to see Brooklyn to have a baseball team again

  • Think Spring

  • I love 1:16! It is so funny! I know everything there is to baseball and Im only 11! I can pitch about 45mph, 58mph , 72mph

  • Whooptydoo, kid, heres a dollar, now go buy yourself an icecream, were so proud of you

  • Baseball is fun as fun.

  • The great John Fogerty has truly highlighted an true American Pastime tradition-baseball

    in this high tempo rendition!! He also in a

    subliminal reference, stressed the fact that

    anyone can be.."Centerfield"..if they work hard and desire to be whatever they desire here in this great free Republic!! Great

    American singer singin' a great American song!

  • Well put!! Fogerty is a real talent!! God Bless America, Mom, Apple Pie, and the girl next door!! Some of my favorites were- Yogi Berra, Roger Moris, Sandi Koufax, Harmon Killebrew & Mickey Mantle. When Baseball ruled!!

  • Now who is gonna argue and say that John Fogerty is not an Icon? The song and the video makes perfect sense and it brings that nostalgic feeling about the good old days of baseball. Eventhough I am Hispanic, I feel the proudness of some of the people making comments in here. John Fogerty is my idol. As I said on another comment, If there is reencarnation; John Fogerty will be the person I want to be back as. Thank JF for all the good music you have given us since the late 1960s.

  • I watch this video and it makes me feel like a child watching baseball for the first time, everytime. When it seemed as though the atheletes were everyman and approachable and played for the joy of baseball.Bosox fan I will always be, but watching Yogi jump on Larson after his perfect game, or DiMaggio, Mantle, Cobb, Robinson and of course Ruth and the great Ted Williams it reminds me that no matter what I am proud to be an American where I can drink a cold one and root for my team in happiness!

  • anyone who loves baseball can appreciate this song....god bless america!

  • I love it! Thank you John Fogerty!

  • I hated this when it came out .. baseball ? bleacchhh !!

    but now to me this song is just about

    BEING a CHAMPION

  • is it time for baseball yet??? i cant wait for the season. A Sunday double-header, a hotdog, and a cold beer, Ahhhhh heaven on earth. GO BRAVES!!!!!!!!

  • SUNDAY DOUBLEHEADER? AND GIVE UP ONE GAME'S WORTH OF TV REVENUE?

    pllleeeeeaaaaassssseeee!!!!!!

  • braves suck sorry but they do Go red sox!

  • amen

  • Wow drowsy4, it's very closed minded to display such a rude comment about part of American culture when you enjoy aspects of it everyday. John Fogerty is just highlighting "America's greatest pastime" and prominently displaying it as a song.

  • why is it in black and

  • because it was made a long time ago.

  • Considering the fact that so many of Fogerty's lyrics display an edgy, anti-establishment message, it's a pleasure to listen to him deliver such a "feel good" ode to our national sport.

  • This song makes me happy is summer. I'm umpiring this spring because I love being out at the ball field; enjoying the sun, eating hot dogs, and calling balls/strikes!!!!! I hope they have baseball in heaven or I don't want to go.

  • but when a majority of people say your opinion is wrong, you are wrong, it's still your opinion, but that opinion is incorrect if a majority do not agree with you

  • Unless you are dealing with a hard fact, opinions can't be wrong. I mean, at least 80% of the world thinks that Americans are backwards cowboys and rednecks........wait, maybe you're on to something.....

  • ya love this song

  • love this song! :)

  • I Love this song! Great video!

  • I Love this song and I LOVE BASEBALL!!!!

    My FAVORITE team is the BOSTON RED SOX!!!!

  • When I start to miss basbeball during the off season I play this song and Im good to go. Great song!

  • im gonna bring it into school for Cheezy Music Monday

  • i love this song sooooo much they played it every day at my old school. <3

  • FUCK U

  • well it's my opinion, and it's the truth. Love fogerty to death, I think he's an absolutely brilliant song writer, but this is a corny two-bit song, the only one of his that i can call that

  • the song is about baseball. How would you prefer the lyrics?

  • "crappiest lyrics ever, this song is the one black spot on fogerty's career"

    I disagree, but you're right, it's your opinion. Not everyone thinks the same. I recently posted that the song "while my guitar gently weeps" is terrible and I received hatred from a few people. Why? It's just an opinion....

  • cause you dont post stuff like that on a song you dont like, if you dont like it why listen to it??

  • What ever happened to the great days of baseball when it was about the teams and players and not how much money can I make!

  • @todd7791 You can't blame the players' , if the owners are dishing it out, I'd take it too. It's sad but that's the way it is in all pro sports, if you want to see good baseball, and players playing their hearts out go to a minor league game, most of the boys want make it to the big leagues, but they are giving it their all !...

  • @todd7791

    It was only about the teams because the owners had total control over the players.

  • look at me i can be

  • centerfield

  • That's Lou Gehrig at 1:38-1:41...

  • Great Vocalist

  • the man is a genius.....

  • I can't tell you how many time's I have seen 1:46.

    PUT ME IN COACH ! IM READY TO PLAY ! TODAY ! LOOK AT ME.. I CAN BE... CENTERFIELD!!

  • its very famous play

  • I know. Lol :)

  • I heard this song for the first time at Jack In The Box today.

  • 1:17 .. awesome!

  • When baseball was meaningful, not these OVER paid assholes of today. It meant something to get an autograph back then, these assholes today! dont even ask them, I dont get paid enough to sign my name is what you will hear. Embarassing!!

  • amen

  • i do not know why but i like this song

  • its a good song

  • i know it sounds dumb but this was me and my ex boyfriends song.... i came across it..brings back good/bad memories

  • Red Sox are playing like inexperienced players. Rays the inexperienced team are playing like seasoned vets

  • you're all demented. the brewers will win the series in 7.

  • thank you! it's about time another brewer fan existed.

  • tankees kick ass, sox sux balls

  • yankees kick ass, sox sux balls

  • red sox baby woooooooo

  • Hate the Sox. They knocked out my Indians last year! I know Cleveland isn't in the playoffs, but how's about Cliff Lee? The Indians are better off without CC.

    Indian ftw!

  • Sox are in yanks aren't. sox are better. period.

  • The Phillies are my team, but I have to admit it's not the same without the Yankees. Something about watching New York playoff games in October.

  • stunod

  • Yanks 4 life

  • go jays!

  • Go Phillies!!

  • this is an amazing song and a baseball anthem

    its in almost every baseball movie i've seen =]

  • go!... cats? ha ha we're the twins. playoffs, byatches!

  • lol fuck your yankees.. they suck

    Go Sox

  • Fuck your Sox

    GO CUBS!

  • Screw the Cubs GO Cardinals!!!!!!!!!!!

  • last i check we kicked the Cardinal's asses on Wrigley to Clinch...

  • Last I checked Oh wait I couldn't have because the Cubs haven't won a World Series in 100 years!!!

  • lol yea.. where are the cubs now?.. dumbass

  • arent you blind?

    Sox are out too!!!

  • Are they dude?!?!

    I could have sworn Game 7 was tonight?!?!

  • HOW BOUT DEM CUBBIEZ!?

    Hahah, 3 and done? After that fantastic year?

    Wait till next year...hopefully my Sox can pull off another comeback and tank the Rays...I can't see them winning Game 5 though.

  • sox sux balls, yankees will kick thier asses

  • anyway awesome video this is my favorite song

  • That's baseball's anthem right there.

  • yankees suck juice from their sippy cups

  • You need to have your mouth washed with soap, sir!!!! That's what my mom used to do to me when I talked like that!!! How do you figure that anyway?

  • you know what? why dont you say that to someone else? huh? see its not like i said a bad word or anything? how 'bout u talk 2 nice77887 because they are the one using fowl language! so dont tell me to wash my mouth with soap!!!!! dont go around acussing people either smart alec!!!!

  • FUCK yankees ALL THE WAY.

  • yankees stink, go red sox

  • Thanks FunkytownFox. I just love the video takes me back to when I was a kid and even before. Love this sound too. Go Yanks!

  • NY Yankees forever.

  • Yanks will be forever. Best team ever in my opinion. We all have our favorite teams, that is what a true fan is all about. Stay loyal to your team win or lose. Still love this video it was when baseball was really a game.

  • go cardinals 2006 world series champions!!!!!!!!!!!!!/great video

  • Red Sox win the east and Toronto wins the wildcard.

  • as of today, the Jays are 7 games back in the wildcard race. No way they will win the wildcard. They would have to get past BOTH Boston AND Tampa not to mention the Twins. Not gonna happen. :-) Sorry Buddy, I don't think Canadian math is any different?!? or is it?

  • Sorry not Canadian im an American you dont have to be a Canadian to like a Canadian team. The way Tampa has been playing lately they suck but a good team though. Twins are gonna choke like they do every year, and the Yankees enough said about them

  • The Twins choke every year? Yeah, you got it. 2002 won division. 2003 won division. 2004 won division. 2005 3rd in division. 2006 won division. 2007 3rd in division. You got it right, the Twins ALWAYS choke. lmao

  • Thats not good enough winning the division doesnt impress me win another world series or another american league championship. You are either 1st or last there is no second best you either win or lose.

  • So then why want Toronto to WIN the wild card? (that they will not do) THAT IS the first loser.........

  • I don't have an answer.

  • Go red sox !!!

  • Go Toronto Blue Jays whoopin everybody's ass

  • Great Video.

  • ebbets field # 1.

  • Go Giants!! i hope in a couple years they are good...

  • Great song

  • two of the best things in one video... A john fogerty song and baseball clips from the 40's and 50's. I think im in heaven

  • i agree

  • awsome song kick butt

  • now back then was when baseball was awesome, not that is aint now, but back in time it was the best thing around! :)

    T

  • Thanx for posting this cool!

  • Great song n video. "PRICELESS"!!!!!!!!

  • I just saw him 2night. MAN! If you have the chance DO IT! caus it was worth it he played his stuf(including this 1) Some new stuf& CCR classics

  • Also he is 1 of the nicest guys ull c

  • Cubs fans never give up, so I can't give up. Though I'm a Braves fan from birth till' death, Come on Cubbies. Come on Cubbies.

  • Sox fans nevr give up LETS GO RED SOX! YANKEES R SKANKEES

  • 26 championships try a little better i know you got what 7 now your catching up but i think the rays got the series this year they are unstopable

  • at least the red sox have a playoff chance

  • well we will see what minnesota does

  • they might win the central but the sox have over 2 games on them in the wildcard

  • true hay i am a yankee fan all day and all knight but i give the sox alot of credit they should still never have delt manny in the middle of a playoff race they right now are the team to beat yanks will not get the wild card unfortunatly sox may lose though to the cubbies

  • manny for jason bay was a great deal. jason bay hits and actully runs. and the sox are up 4 games in the wild card

  • yes but manny has already proven himself in the post season bay has not yet done so lets see what he does come playoff time

  • yeah when the sox and the rays r in and the yanks out

  • Manny would've sat out if he wasn't traded. He hates boston and everything the Organization stood for.

    On a side note, second favorite baseball song (behind Talkin' Baseball) and I listen to both before I do anything baseball related (heh)

  • Great song! Great video!!

  • 10+

    Thanks, some of the greatest moments in baseball all at once! Yogi's embrace of Larsen and Maz's home run are two of the best. And you got them!
