8. "A Sight for Sore Eyes" -- Tom Waits
In this mournful 1977 song, Waits portrays a bar patron seemingly at the end of a long night. To anyone who will listen, he suggests that "we toast to the old days and [Joe] DiMaggio, tooand old [Don] Drysdale and [Mickey] Mantle, Whitey Ford, and to you" It's one of the few baseball songs that celebrates pitchers, notably the Dodgers" Drysdale and the Yankees" Ford, who faced each other in multiple, mid-century World Series.
