This was his first solo song he wrote, and recorded, after leaving the music industry, because his music was stolen from him, and he made no loyalties off of it. After a lengthy court battle, he won. It was about baseball, but wasn't really about baseball, it was about him being ready to get back in the game of the music industry, that he had lost trust in. He is a talented man. I'm glad that he persevered over it all, and continues to play the game.
@NikkiNole2 ай бұрын
@lyndaferguson816 He wanted out of his contract. He still owed the record company like 8 records. For him to terminate the contract, he gave them the rights to his songs. So it may have been stolen from him, but he agreed to it at the time. He wanted out and that was the price to be paid.

"Centerfield" is the title track from John Fogerty's album Centerfield, released in 1985. Fogerty's first solo album after a nine-year hiatus. The song is now commonly played at baseball games across the United States. Along with "Take me out to the Ball Game," it is one of the best-known baseball songs. In 2010, Fogerty became the only musician to be celebrated at the Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony when "Centerfield" was honored by the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

Grew up 8 blocks from the original Yankee Stadium in the days when the players would still park their cars on the street and throw a couple of bucks to us kids to "keep an eye" on their cars. After the 4th inning we could get in any game because we were familiar to all the ticket takers...Baseball was so Pure and Simple back then...(I'm 62)...when my dad saw this video at my apartment in the mid 1980's he was able to rattle off the names of literally each and every ball player in the video...he laughed so hard that afternoon that it was a real pleasure to me. He was an "All City" left fielder in high school and that was a real achievement considering how many High School athletes are in the NYC public school system. Just after completing his senior year season with another City championship he enlisted in the Marine Corps and fought during the Island Hopping Campaign in the South Pacific. I apologize if my comment is too long...I just needed to share these thoughts...Bless...

The power and majesty of a home run... The quick, Helvetian precision of a triple play... The daring thrill of a stolen base... The crisp crack of the bat... The verdant grass of the outfield... Forget soccer. THIS is the Beautiful Game. :)

It sounds so simple, but writing something like this takes rare talent. John Fogarty is not only a songwriter of genius (and I don't use that term lightly), but blessed with one of the most distinctive voices in Rock and Roll. Hell, I'm English, and this has got me fired up about baseball. Is there a song that encapsulates the game better than this one? If there is, why aren't people singing along to that at games.
