10--The Treniers--Sey Hey (the Willie Mays song) This song was released in 1954 and features the voice of Willie Mays. It's available on the "songs about players" page.
9-- The Ferko String Band--Take Me Out to the Ball GameReleased in the late 40's or early 50's this is a classic "string band" version of baseball's anthem.
8- Paul Mall and the Bleacher Boys--Go Go SoxOne of the rarest recordings on the website is also my personal favorite. It's a must listen if you are White Sox fan.
7-Phil Foster--Brooklyn Baseball FanThe highest ranking comic monologue (and the best) on the site is this classic about Foster checking out a Brooklyn Dodgers game, complete with spoiled sandwiches and bad seats.
6-Tom Memoli-- Dennis Waltz (Take Me Out to the Ball Game)This one sounds like it is being played during the 7th inning stretch. I am surprised this organ solo came in ahead of the Ken Griffin version.
5-Delaware County String Band--Fightin' PhilsThe Phillies fans on Baseballfever.com alone played this song over 1000 times. Thanks gang!
4-Andrews Sisters-Take Me Out to the Ball GameThis was the most popular version of TMO on the website this year.
3- Les Brown and his Orchestra--Joltin' Joe DiMaggioOne of the most common recordings, but it remains a favorite.
2- Harry James and his Orchestra--Dodgers Fan DanceThis is an instrumental, but it just SOUNDS like baseball.
This years #1 song is…Gladys Goodding--Follow the DodgersThis song was played almost 7000 times in 2006.
