I did not know that! Altho I know that version very well. Just assumed that was the cover.

Beck is fine but the Stevie version just kills it.

I've never really gotten into Jeff Beck.  I respect the work but it doesn't hit my sweet spot.

OK Ellis, you only retired one batter last inning.  Need to do better in the 3rd.

Old stuff is always better! Sometimes better. Or not better....

Or new stuff too...

Love me some Jeff Beck, but agree on Stevie. He just had that groove.

1-2-3 inning.

It's an intimidation tactic.  It's like when one of my kids started playing water polo.  I have never played water polo and know nothing about it, but I gave him this advice:

Your first shot on goal, don't try to score a goal.  Just throw the ball as hard as you can at the goalkeepers face.  This will bring his arms in for the next time you try to score and make it easier.

I wanted to try water polo but I wasn't sure the horse knew how to swim.

That was acceptable.

Just for you. Oldest piece of recorded music I know of. Bessie Smith (HUGE star and 18 year old nobody Louis Armstrong on trumpet!)

1925? 1927? 1929? I've seen all 3.

Two runs allowed and two baserunners erased on the basepaths.

That's OK by Oriole standards.

[Legend_Of_Joey]

Probably the slowest person running, but that was still an impressive “scoop and chuck” by Iglesias.
