Songs About Balls & Strikes, Vol. 1

It's playoff time for Major League Baseball, and I'm super-excited! In honor of that (and considering that I've already posted "Hit" and "Run" and "Catch" and "Throw" songs in recent months), here's a bunch of songs with the word "Ball" or "Strike" in their titles. Can't get enough of these? Just you wait, 'cuz Vol. 2 is coming up next. Enjoy!  ~  JH
