Despite the snow that is on its way, we are getting very close to baseball season.
I was riding down the road recently and this song came on and I thought it would be fun to post here with a question...
What song "means" baseball to you?
Please post link to youtube if possible (can be done by clicking the "film strip" next to the smiley face along bar above and "insert" url).
I'll start with Bruce Springsteen's "Glory Days"

Can't pick just one- I have over 450 songs loaded into my computer that I play at our home games.
The most popular, based upon requests:
"I Met My Baby In the Porta-John Line" by Nothin Fancy
(hilarious blue grass song)
For me, it's gotta be..."Centerfield"
I already regret posting this one...
But absolutely love this one...
Centerfield
Willie, Mickey and the Duke
Being a Sox fan, gotta love that Dirty Water. Also my high school colors are purple and gold. in 1985 after every win which there were a bunch as we went 22-1 or so and won the state championship, on the bus rides home and parties after home games we sang along with Prince as loud as we could scream Purple Reign. Kinda cheezy but good fun back then and whenever I hear that song I smile.
not even gonna try to put the videos on here as I have no clue
Until I became a baseball dad there was only professional baseball. Catchers and pitchers reported every mid-Feb and games started around April 1. Now, it is more about college and high school baseball at this time of my life. Pro ball doesn't start really kicking in until after the NCAA regular season is over.
The high school and college games change songs every year, but a few endure such as Blake Shelton's - "Boys Round Here", Eric Church's - "Drink in My Hand", and John Forgerty's "Centerfield"
MLB Song - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JLNnXgQeqU. "Love that dirty water" as Wattsboro suggested. It always means a Red Sox home victory.
A response from my twitter feed suggested Kenny Chesney's "Summertime"...
Centerfield - And the Kenny Rogers song, I can't think of the name of it where he talks about the ball goes up, the ball goes down, and the kid misses, so he is the greatest pitcher ever.
"I've Got Big Balls" by AC/DC 
Gimme Shelter and Sympathy For The Devil - I dressed to them for high school, Legion, college and college summer ball. They put me in my "game trance."
Centerfield - And the Kenny Rogers song, I can't think of the name of it where he talks about the ball goes up, the ball goes down, and the kid misses, so he is the greatest pitcher ever.
"The Greatest" - great song!!!

Mister Softee Ice Cream Truck Song - 
Think Mr. 3000

How about the theme song from The Natural? When those horns sound off the hairs on the back of neck stand up!
The Greatest by Kenny Rogers:
BTW, I am having a ton of trouble tonight with my browser. I posted earlier but it is not showing that with regards to baseball songs, I didn't count the end to the song Paradise by the Dashboard Light by Meatloaf. I don't think they are really talking about baseball. LOL!
LA Women by the Doors. In college we listened to it right before a game and came back from being down 18-3. Listened to it before every game after that while in college!
Fenway. isn't it funny how country music and baseball seem to go together? And I am a Jersey boy!
The Greatest by Kenny Rogers:
I have never heard this before...I love it! Centerfield is still the ultimate IMO but i love this song!
I am not sure why I can't see the videos, all I get is an error message.
But for me, Summertime and Drink in my Hand and of course Center Field.
Drink in my Hand was part of my son's senior year play list, full blast from the press box before every home game, until the principal heard it. 
From his junior season, the song Summer Nights by Rascal Flatts was the big pre-game / between innings theme song.
Man, this is getting me jonesin' for some baseball!
Heard this last night and it took me straight to the ball field! Trevor Hoffman… coming in for the save!!!
