It turns out that a couple years ago, Dan Bern released an album of baseball songs. Doubleheader

I've loved Dan Bern since I found his eponymous album a decade ago, but I think this may be my favorite Dan Bern thing ever. It is also the greatest baseball album I've ever seen, by miles. The songs aren't just about fans and their relationship to baseball, they're also about baseball and its relationship to culture, politics, society. There are some absolutely magnificent songs here.

I'm planning to put up a baseball playlist for Opening Day, so you'll get to take a listen to the best songs then.

Many years ago I gave my dad a mix CD of baseball songs -- compiling it was one of the most fun things I've done. Look forward to seeing your playlist.
