Didn't Goodman also write a song called "He Ain't Bowie Kuehn"? I think he sang it on that last special he did for TV before he died and I was choking to keep from laughing so I wouldn't miss any words.

(We watch the Cubs here all the time -- me mum, who lives with me (not the other way around; trust me, there's a major difference!), has been a Cubs fan since Quinn Ryan was the announcer. Me da used to call himself a baseball widower. The woman keeps player stat cards all summer... She thinks cable TV is a gift of God, because she can now get WGN. She's 84 and can still shag balls for the kids, at least for a while.)

There was a Tom Waits song, too: "Sight for Sore Eyes." The chorus went

Hey barkeep, what's keeping you? -- keep pourin' drinks
For all these palookas; hey, ya know what I thinks?
That we drink to old days and DiMaggio, too
Old Drysdale and Maris, Mickey Mantle and you.
