As the popular 1981 Journey song from their hit recording Escape reminds us to “Don’t Stop Believin’” I also found out that the song was adopted by the 2005 Chicago White Sox when they were in that year’s Fall Classic. Wikipedia also has the following story regarding the song’s connection to baseball.In 2008, in a tight battle for first place with the Arizona Diamondbacks in the National League West, the Los Angeles Dodgers began to play “Don’t Stop Believin’” in the middle of the 8th inning at all of their home games. Subsequently, the song has been played at Dodger home games throughout the 2009 season, much to the chagrin of Steve Perry, a self-proclaimed San Francisco Giants fan.If you don’t trust wikipedia (some people don’t), feel free to read “Perry’s 8th-inning Journey” by SF Chronicle’s staff writer, Henry Schulman.

This decision could end up proving to be a colossal mistake. It could definitely end up biting the Yankees right in the rear. The lineup is likely going to be very weak tonight. The...
