答疑：常小猫The 2012 Major League Baseball season is in, yes, full swing. The sport has long been a hit with songwriters. In fact, baseball has been celebrated in song almost since the first pitch was thrown out. "The Baseball Polka" was written in the late 1850s.
Over the years, Irving Berlin and Bruce Springsteen have written songs about baseball. Singers as different as Frank Sinatra and Meat Loaf have sung about the game.
Mandolin player and singer Sam Bush is a huge fan of his favorite team, the Saint Louis Cardinals. His album "King of My World" includes a song he wrote called "The Wizard of Oz." The song is about Ozzie Smith, a former Cardinal great who played shortstop and did backflips on the field.
Ozzie Smith is in the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. Bob Dylan wrote a song about another Hall of Famer: Jim "Catfish" Hunter. Catfish Hunter was one of the best baseball pitchers ever, and one of the most popular. His 15-year career included five World Series championships with the Oakland Athletics and the New York Yankees.2012年美国职业棒球大联盟赛季正火热进行中。棒球这项运动对于词曲作家来说一直都是个热点。实际上，几乎从史上首次投掷开始，人们就开始用音乐庆祝棒球比赛的胜利。《棒球波尔卡》创作于19世纪50年代。

曼陀林演奏家兼歌手山姆·布什是他最喜欢的球队——圣路易斯红雀——的铁杆粉丝。他的专辑《我世界中的王》收录了他自己创作的一首名为《绿野仙踪》的歌曲。这首歌曲是关于欧兹·史密斯的，他是红雀队的前巨星，在赛场上担任游击手还会后空翻。
欧兹·史密斯被选入位于美国纽约州古柏镇内的棒球名人堂。鲍勃·迪伦创作了一首歌曲，关于另一位名人堂球员：吉姆·“鲶鱼”·亨特。鲶鱼亨特是迄今为止棒球界最好的投手之一，也是最有名的投手之一。在他15年的职业生涯中，5次参加棒球世界系列锦标赛并且为奥克兰运动家队和纽约洋基队效力。
