One of my all time favorites is a little tune from Dave frishberg called
Van Lingle Mungo. It's on youtube. It's about all of the old timers including Mungo and the lyrics are just the names of baseball players. Check it out! I don;t know how to post a video on here but like i said its on youtube.

I was gonna suggest Tesie by The Dropkick Murphy's. This one is another personal favorite.
