my uncle Danny Gardella was a player for the New York Giants and was the person that made baseball what it is today with all the big salaries .................

At 1:13, the first mention of Hal Trosky has a picture of a young Bob Feller.

Thanks for posting my favorite of all baseball songs.

First heard it years ago when played on WNEW radio by music host Jonathan Schwartz.

Frishberg's words and music reminds me of lost youth, innocence, and what the anticipation of baseball can do for a boy in the early spring.

@bobcarp23 Ha, I see the resemblance too, now that you mention it

Great job digging up all the images of the players.

But

First Hal Trosky image is Bob Feller.

Is it me, or does Hennie Majeskie look just like Adam Carolla...
