It's nonsensical to play that song every game in the same city that inspired both Homicide and The Wire, possibly the most un-country shows ever.  So I like it.

What would you replace it with?

If folks feel the need to fiddle with perfection there is always this:

If the Orioles played in West Virginia.  This song was written by the couple that wrote and sang "Afternoon Delight". That might be a better choice for day games.

Because that would be the least creative of all the options?  Is there a team at any level in any sport in the last 10 years that hasn't played that song at the stadium?

That and "Song #2" and "Rock n Roll Part 2" are most over used songs at sporting events.

I wouldn't know Pearl Jam songs if I even heard one. 

The lead singer, whatshisname, seems like a nice guy, but his voice and those of all of his imitators became tiresome very fast.

Written by OH former regular Webley Webster (aka Tom Meltzer), Baltimore native. 

"Once we won The Series, just going away

Once sat on top of the NFL and NBA

All that's over now, time's left and closed the door

Even I packed up and left the city of Balitmore"

 

By the way, they're playing a reunion show in NYC at the Mercury Lounge on March 31. I get to see Tom a bit, we shared a gig in November, here out past Chapel Hill, NC. https://newyork.carpe-diem.events/calendar/9281704-5-chinese-brothers-at-mercury-lounge/

 I'm tired of the "Country Boy" song.  Is there a less appropriate "team song" than that song playing in downtown Baltimore?  This would be a good 7th inning stretch song.

I always thought the song was Earl's doing, something to do with his tomato plants growing at Memorial Stadium, but after seeing the Belanger documentary, Mark's first wife took the credit for it. I like the song "Baltimore" by Five Chinese Brothers (above). Written by a native and OH guy from a long time back, the guy who told me about this place to begin with (Webley Webster aka Tom Meltzer).

Thinking of local acts I've always liked Lake Trout (great musicians but super underground) and Clutch (listened to both in college)

 

The Mob Goes Wild would be great.

Thinking about a little Jimmie’s Chicken Shack for the seventh inning stretch.

Any relation to the REM song of a similar title?

I think they predated REM's song. I think these guys formed at Columbia University a little before that REM song (2nd LP?) was released. This band's name is based on the children's fable.

I’ve seen two articles today where players referred to Hyde as “Hyder.”    I guess he has his nickname.

I know its ST.

I know we have a new manager, and lets give him some breathing room.

I saw this item by Roch, that would concern me if this was the regular season:

Luis Ysla warmed twice in the bullpen but wasn’t needed.
