Terry Cashman did “Talkin’ Baseball” songs for every major league team, at least twice and I’m pretty sure in each of the past three decades.

I’ve purchased some of them here:

I believe you can search Terry Cashman at iTunes and find many of them, too.

Excellent work!
Now that I’ve heard it, I’m pretty sure there was also a Cubs version of “Talking Baseball” . . . though it’s not on my Cubs Greatest Hits CD . . . and “Go Cubs Go” by the late Steve Goodman has pretty much taken over down there.

Guessing Fox contracted to play that Leighton nightmare piece X number of times . . . so we’re probably stuck with it for a while. Though I have yet to hear/read one positive review . . . At least it gives me one reason not to regret canceling my cable.
Thanks!

Ending the investigative reporter career? Don’t count on it. Once people discover you’re good at something, it’s funny how they keep giving you similar assignments. You may have done your job too well!

The original 1981 version of this song was not for the Twins, but a tribute to players from the 1950s. Cahsman then wrote several different versions of this song for different teams, and he wrote one for the Twins but it was not in 1981. I know that because it talks about Kirby and Herbie and such. It’s on the CD “Minnesota Twins Greatest Hits”: http://www.amazon.com/Minnesota-Twins-Greatest-Various-Artists/dp/B00004TH57

My Mom was very excited to hear this during the broadcast. She even recorded a little bit of it and sent it to me! Har har. We sang that song a lot, “Just like Tooony, the Killer and Carew (Kirby! Kirby! Kirby!)”

I don’t know anything about a 2007 Twins remake? I’d be interested to hear.
