Why is this titled "I Wondered by a Brookside." Is that the name of the song, strange to have such an elaborate title for a tv sports theme.

[TMC1982Part2]

@Knightmessenger Several years back, I burned the theme to a CD on my computer. And "I Wandered by a Brookside" is what the title said. I don't know who composed it for ABC. All that I know for sure is that it was 1st used in the fall of 1988.

Wait. From the beginning to 0:33, was this the Game 3 intro before the 1989 Earthquake, or after it was delayed by 10 days?

[TMC1982Part2]

Yes, it was from ABC's telecast from October 17, 1989.

This was my favorite theme from ABC sports of all-time especially the MNF Pinball opener.

Damn you, Hank Williams, Jr.!

@Spr463 Oh, but little do you know that Al Michael knows all. All, I say!!! o_O

[KNS1996DFS]

@TMC1982Part2 It's a song by Eva Cassidy. I've listened to it on YouTube and, honestly, I can't hear the similarity.
