From the Nashville Tennessean:
Bob Dylan in Baseball Hall of Fame
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. (AP) -- Bob Dylan has played
at historic Doubleday Field - music, that is. Now, he's back, and for
good, just a block down Main Street in the Baseball Hall of Fame. The museum has added the baseball episode from the famed
singer-songwriter's weekly music show, "Theme Time Radio Hour," on XM
Satellite Radio to its archive, it was announced Wednesday. The one-hour episode contains Dylan singing an a cappella rendition
of "Take Me out to the Ball Game," along with classic
baseball-announcing calls, such as Curt Gowdy's description of Ted
Williams' home run in his final at-bat with the Boston Red Sox. It also contains several original baseball compositions, including
Buddy Johnson's "Did You See Jackie Robinson Hit That Ball?" and "The
Ball Game" by Sister Wynona Carr. The CD will be added to the National Baseball Hall of Fame Library
archive, which features more than 10,000 hours of recorded audio and
video, and will be available for researchers.
