I remember
my Grandpa, his hat in his hand, The Star Spangled Banner
being played by the band, The roar of the crowd as the pitcher
took aim, When baseball was just a game. I
Love Baseball is a collection of fifteen brand new songs about the grand old game, written by Joe Manning and Steve
Vozzolo, plus an exciting new arrangement of "Take Me Out To The Ball Game," with the original verses written
in 1908. The tunes, composed in a timeless
Americana style - ragtime, folk, rhythm & blues, rock, even Dixieland - evoke the spirit and emotions of the game. The
lyrics, full of humor and a sincere love for the game, and Steve's heartfelt vocals, express both the joy of the
little boy watching his first game, and the nostalgia of the veteran fan who longs for the days when baseball was just a game. Selections from I Love Baseball have been featured
on ESPN and National Public Radio, and are played frequently in baseball parks all over the country. All of the original
songs have been accepted as part of the permanent collection of baseball music at the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown,
New York. As a result, Joe and Steve were awarded lifetime passes to the museum.
