America, USA!

Terry Cashman is one of my heroes.  Never met Mr. Cashman.  I would probably fall over if ever had the opportunity to shake his hand.  Today, is Opening Day for Major League Baseball here in America. Today you will probably hear one of Mr. Cashman's "masterpieces."

Joltin' Joe!

Thirty years ago singer/composer Cashman displayed his love for the national pastime with his song, “Talkin’ Baseball.”  Now baseball is showing its love for Cashman and his composition, with the Hall of Fame planning honoring the song and its writer by being inducted into the legendary shrine.

Every ball park in America (even a few in Canada) are blasting some version of "Talkin' Baseball."

Here are a couple of my favorite takes on his classic featuring the New York Yankees, the Detroit Tigers and the Baltimore Orioles, and of course Willie, Mickey and The Duke!  Thanks, Mr. Cashman, for making America smile every opening day, year in and year out!
