New to me, seen the 1983 version many times, but didn't know this existed....

Amazing. Can't believe I missed this.

I'm glad this was posted on the web and I know how I missed it. Even if I'd been there, I
was 12 at the time, after I heard Marvin finish his song I would have left since I've never
cared for baseball....

WOW........never heard him sing this full in his balladeer voice before. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!
