John Fogerty, the writer of baseball's national anthem, 'Centerfield,' will be welcomed at the Hall on Sunday
Leading off and playing Centerfield on Sunday at the Baseball Hall of Fame:
John Fogerty.
Twenty-five years after first singing "Put me in, coach,' Fogerty finally
is getting in the game. He'll take the stage with 67 Hall of Famers in
Cooperstown, N.Y., and perform the song Centerfield before the start of
induction ceremonies. "I've been told by fans all over the world that it's always a major part
of their baseball memories from hearing it at their Little League games to
major stadiums,' Fogerty said when the Hall decided to honor the song. "I'm overwhelmed and truly humbled to be a part of the hallowed halls of
the Baseball Hall of Fame and to have been asked to share the same stage
with some of the greatest players who ever lived.' A recording of Centerfield has been played before the start of induction
ceremonies for more than 10 years. (more)
