Whistling warm-up song late in the 90’s at state.

[M R DAWGS]

I’m trying to find the name of a song that was played every game during warm-ups at the dude in the 90’s and maybe early 2000’s. There was the “Talking Baseball” song and this other one that I remember that had a lot of whistling in it. Anybody remember it?


My son’s playing ball today, and I want to play it for him.

Centerfield is the song I think of the most, but I can’t think of the one with the whistling.

While Sweet Georgia Brown was what you are looking for I can help but think of “Talking Baseball” with this thread

Don't look up what Ty Cobb had to say about the Globetrotters using that song. Or at least how the movie Cobb portrays it.

Ty Cobb was NOT what he was portrayed in the Tommy Lee Jones movie. For example, his grandfather was almost lynched during the Civil War because he remained loyal to the Union. Cobb strongly advocated for the integration of the major leagues, and in the 1950's said his favorite players were Willie Mays and Hank Aaron (he liked the way they played the game). He never sharpened his spikes, He never attacked anyone because of race.

Cobb invested into Coca-Cola after his playing days and was a millionaire when he died. He was also a philanthropist.

The whole Cobb myth was created by some guy named Al Stump.

Everyone knows about the notorious Ty Cobb, an inveterate racist who played dirty and was violently out of control off the field...

Diamond Girl by Seals and Croft always makes me think of college days at Dudy Noble when the Diamond girls were in charge of dragging the infield pre game

I bet that was something to watch back then.
