There was a song about a legendary double-play combination, "Tinker to Evers to Chance," probably one about the Gashouse Gang with Dizzy and Daffy Dean and others. A few years after they moved from New York to San Francisco, the Giants had a relief pitcher named Stu Miller, a third baseman named Tom Haller, and a second baseman named Hiller, and someone wrote a song about them that was used in Giants promotions, "The Miller-Hiller-Haller Halleluja Hop" or something like that. But my favorite baseball song isn't a baseball song at all, but is associated with baseball because of the best baseball movie ever made, Bang the Drum Slowly, the song, of course, "The Streets of Laredo." --seed
