Baseball on acid: Is there a test for that?
As we close in on the 2010 Major League baseball season…the game’s bumbling lead Napoleon…one Bud Selig… stammers on and on as usual about the evils of performance enhancers…then refuses to believe there’s a real man’s test for the use of human growth hormone.
So fans…we take you back in song to the “drug free” good ol’ hazy, crazy, major league days of yesteryear….circa 1970. When only a mirror ball full of cocaine and random LSD use was found in the pristine clubhouses at various major league ball parks in America.
Former KSAN-FM program director in San Francisco, Bonnie Simmons…reminded us of Todd Snider’s mesmerizing little acoustic ode to former Pittsburgh Pirate pitcher Dock Ellis…who once tossed a no-hitter while sky high out-of-his-mind on LSD.
America’s Favorite Pastime is one of the greatest sports songs of all time.
