Fogerty's "Centerfield" returns to the line up
The extra songs are covers of the Rockin' Sydney '80s hit My Toot Toot and the '50s R&B/doo wop song I Confess. "Over the past 25 years 'Centerfield' has come to mean so much to so many - more then I could've ever imagined, said Fogerty. "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. To have written a song like 'Centerfield' that appeals to all generations and can be shared by everyone, I'm happy that baseball fans have embraced it as their anthem for a sport that I've always loved and is part of the fabric of our country."
Fogerty also will participate in the upcoming Baseball Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Cooperstown, N.Y. "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 at the Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony with some of the greatest players to have ever lived."
Fogerty produced and played every instrument on the album. "Centerfield" was Fogerty's second album since his 1973 solo debut, The Blue Ridge Rangers, which followed his exit from Creedence Clearwater Revival.
