A tribute to Terry Cashman's great American baseball song... Talkin' Baseball. One of the greatest baseball songs ever written, it captures the feeling of the pre-PED era of baseball.. when things were a bit simplier and the love of the game really meant something. This video tribute was created to pay homage to his song while helping younger fans learn about some of the players highlighed in it's verses. Every baseball fan should know who Willie, Mickey and The Duke were... if they don't I hope this video helps them learn about these three great ball players.
