Old Alex Box Songs (Not About Walk Up Songs)
Posted on 2/12/14 at 1:50 pm

Disclaimer: This isn't about any player's walk up songs.
This is about songs they piped into the Old Box before the game and between innings. Since they moved to the New Box, they changed up a lot of the music to modern day stuff. But in growing up at the Old Box, a lot of the songs they played were implanted in my head and when I hear them, I think of them as a "Baseball song."
They had the same songs every game and at every inning.
Just wanted to know if anyone could name more songs than these few I've compiled so I can make an adequate playlist for this upcoming season.
These songs always bring me back to the old days.
"Thank God I'm a Country Boy" by John Denver
"Aime" by Pure Prairie League
"Glory Days" by Bruce Springsteen
"Centerfield" by John Fogerty
"She's Some Kind Of Wonderful" by Grand Funk Railroad
"Bad Moon Rising" by CCR
"Old Time Rock and Roll" by Bob Segar
"Cherry Bomb" by John Mellencamp
"Pretty Woman" by Roy Orbinson
"Proud Mary" by CCR
"Hurts So Good" by John Mellencamp
"The Cheap Seats" by Alabama
"Louisiana Saturday Night" by Mel McDaniel
Can anyone think of any more?

Is there a recording of take me out the the ball game being played at the box so that you hear the crowd scream root for the tigers?

Other people are delivering too. This is exactly what I wanted. Gonna have a great playlist this year!

Way back when, in the early days of Skip, they used to play Huey Lewis and the News' "Heart of Rock n Roll", and when they named different cities, after the part that said, "Boston and Baton Rouge", there would be piped in crowd applause.
But I'm with you on this topic. There are several songs that I hear and think of Alex Box Stadium, even though they aren't really baseball songs. The Bull Durham soundtrack got a lot of play in the Box.
Another good memory was that the 1990 team used to always have Tom Petty's "Full Moon Fever" album playing during batting practice. "Free Fallin", "Runnin Down a Dream", "You're So Bad". I still have the cd thanks to that team.
