Jazz and Baseball SEATTLE, WA (KPLU) - With the Mariners still sitting at the bottom of the American League standings, we thought we'd talk about the LIGHTER SIDE of baseball. KPLU's Nick Morrison has put together a list of five great jazz songs about baseball. He talked about some of them with KPLU's Kirsten Kendrick.

Five Jazz Songs about Baseball:

Did You See Jackie Robinson Hit That Ball? Buddy Johnson
Two Bass Hit - Miles Davis Sextet
Van Lingle Mungo - Dave Frishberg
Baseball Boogie - Mabel Scott
Take Me Out to the Ballgame - Dr. John
