The initial pic of The Duke, [empty space airbrushed out] then Willie, and Mickey was originally with #5 Joe DiMaggio. Terry saw the four together, and was inspired to write the song, but couldn't work in Joe D., so he left him out of the song!

I saw Willie Mays rob a guy of a base hit in short center field in the Polo Grounds in New York in 1956 or 57. One of my earliest memories. I was 8 or 9 years old.

Having seen and enjoyed both, I've got to hand the win to the Simpsons episode. I just recently rewatched it after 20 years and I just couldn't stop laughing. I am simply amazed at how many jokes they fit into every minute of that episode. None of it was typical familiar character humor, just off the wall jokes. Pitt the Elder, sideburns, nerve tonic, the cops arresting Sax, Smithers hunt nationwide search, wonderbat, I can't even list them all.

The Duke’s last year 1964 he played for SF Giants. He lived down the street from us in Fremont. We became so close he would take my brother & I to the Giants games in his Port Hole Thunderbird. One time while I visited him & he said I looked skinny so his wife Bev made me a sandwich with chips & soda. Then he asked how my swing was? So he grabbed a bucket of baseballs & we drove to my LL Field & he threw me BP! The memories of The Duke were outstanding! Once we took his kids with our family in our Station Wagon to The Fremont Drive Inn to watch the Beatles movie Hard Day’s Night. What a nice man!
@rentslave5 ай бұрын
The Giants used Duke in a game for which he wasn't eligible:In the next to last game in 1964,he pinch hit but the Giants lost anyway.Had they won,they would have had to replay the game on the Monday following the season's end if they were in a playoff with other teams.

Duke Snider never got the recognition he rightfully deserved, the 3rd-best CF in NYC in his era, simply because the two ahead of him were perhaps the two greatest of all time at that position. Also, his defense was vastly underappreciated; the first Gold Glove Awards were in 1957, when he was 31. Willie Mays won twelve straight, the Duke was always 2nd. My favorite all-time player, R.I.P. Duke.

I remember this was released in the Summer of '81, the year of the strike. We were so sad as little kids that we didnt have our heroes to watch during summer vacation. Then, this song came out, and it was like an adrenaline shot. We absolutely loved the song. For, a little while it made you forget the strike, and made us happy. So happy.

Terry Cashman wrote and sang this song in early 1981, hence the lyric "Well, now it's the Eighties, and Brett is the greatest ..." George Brett batted .390 in 1980 and led the Royals to the AL pennant. Then there's, "...and the great Alexander is pitchin' again in Washington," referring to then-newly inaugurated president Ronald Reagan's acting role as Grover Cleveland Alexander in "The Winning Team" (1952). Also in early '81, I saw a completely different, network-produced video to this song on NBC's "Game Of The Week." (It was pretty good.) Oddly enough, Cashman himself wrote and sang the parody "Talkin' Softball" especially for The Simpsons, in an episode from 1992, eleven years LATER. Anyway, with all the telltale signs that this was the original version, it flabbergasts me that a lot of commenters here apparently believe just the opposite: that The Simpsons' version came first. Geez! Today is 30 March 2020. I turn 56 today. Proud to be a latter-year Boomer.

For those that were there to live with these three, this is very emotional. If were born too late, you'll never understand.

Tears in my eyes and I didn't even live in those times or know about baseball, but I can sense the nostalgia in the tune - must of been great times! I only heard the tune through The Simpsons.

Imagine being in New York at the time period. You got to see 3 hall of fame Centerfielders. Mays of the Giants, Mantle of the Yankees and Snider of the Dodgers.

I've seen similarly superb OF catches, AND incredible OF throws to kill a runner at Home or at 3b from RF--Roberto Clemente had possibly the greatest-strongest OF arm I've ever seen! And there were many other amazing throws and catches, besides Mays' catch--that he said he had no doubt he could get! It was his throw to prevent any runs from scoring on tagging-up after that he was more proud of doing!
