The Goo Goo Dolls' rendition of Take me out to the Ball Game. This song was produced for Major League Baseball in Electric Lady Studios in New York City in 1996.
This was the year I 1st started watching baseball. I was 12 and fell in love with the sport after going to my first Dodger game where Mike Piazza hit a go-ahead 2 run HR in the bottom of the 8th. And he's in this video!
It's great to see this again. I remember seeing this on TV back in 96. I believe it was right after "Name" was a hit on the radio. For some reason, seeing these guys do this song on TV showed me they weren't just another rock band. This made them more relatable somehow. I've been a fan ever since.
I'm surpised they only featured Atlanta players in this commercial given this played during the 1996 World Series (Yankees vs Braves), when surely New York fans were more prevalent.
Honestly they probably root for neither, upstate New York hates the city and pretends they're closer to Canada than the US. I'm not convinced there's a big baseball market up there anyway, it's probably all Buffalo Bills country up there
I heard this version in Seattle, in the 1990's, and didn't know who the artist was. I finally found out. This is so well done, such a polished version, it should've been a huge hit!!

I loved those “What a Game” commercials. This was far and away the best.
The best version of this song that I love to the heart!

Awww man I remember these from 1996!!!!! We’re gonna do it again this year!!!! Atlanta Braves forever!!!!
Loved this commercial!!!
What a time capsule!
This is f ing amazing this is the goos i know!!
I just love this! Javy Lopez playing air guitar...
Best version ever, even though there are no Mariners in the video!! No other version will do after hearing this!!!
Most teams aren't represented here lol. No Yankees, Red Sox, or Cubs, things were wayyyyy different in the 90's
26 years ago.. WOW!!!!!
yes the world is old
This is the song you were talking about last week.

There's Dodgers in there too
Oh-h-h... What A Game!!
Happy opening day! ⚾️
I think they should come back
I love 💕 Robbies Jersey.
Johnny was too cool to wear a jersey I guess :(
This is when society peaked
❤
no Yankees in the video?
Or Red Sox, or Cubs. I thought that was strange too
Do people of Buffalo root for the Yankees? Mets?
Can’t be Boston …
New Yorkers unite! ❤

I don't like this version of the song.
