I found this clip linked in a long and ultimately slightly interesting and wholly depressing article on former Padres pitcher Eric Show, who gave up Pete Rose’s record-breaking base hit and dabbled as a musician and a John Birch Society member. As jock-rock (and white-boy blues, for that matter) recordings go, this isn’t too bad. Enjoy.

What’s your favorite jock-rock recording that specifically was thrown together to celebrate a team’s championship season? (And beside Muhammed Ali and probably some other boxes, has any solo sport athlete, such as a golfter or tennis star, recorded a record in praise of his or her championship run?)
