It’s an all-star game all the time with these songs that pay tribute to some of baseball’s most famous sluggers and hurlers. Some of the tracks here—like The Treniers’ 1954 novelty “Say Hey (The Willie Mays Song)”—essentially function as advertising jingles for their subject. But others offer more nuanced salutes: Soundgarden’s raging “Ty Cobb” isn’t so much a paean to the Detroit Tigers legend as a sonic manifestation of his infamously surly attitude.
