These tunes were written during the 2010 baseball season as a special project for ESPN.com. Every month of that season we wrote a song commenting on the most current baseball shenanigans where they could only be heard on the ESPN website. We've compiled that entire season of songs here along with some rare tracks from the vaults that were crying out to be heard. We couldn't keep the 'truth is stranger than fiction' tales of wife swapping ("The Ballad of Mike Kekich and Fritz Peterson") and postal workers going postal ("Blood Diamond") to ourselves. So here ya go.
