I was trying to figure out what Mets player Jeff Francouer's at-bat songs were - they're country, of course; I think one of them is Kenny Chesney, and one is by Brad Paisley, but I don't know which songs they are.But while I didn't find the song titles via a web search, I did come across this interview, which describes Francoeur's love of country music:
Maybe that's what the rest of the Mets need to do - sing George Strait songs to pass the time! I have a few suggestions of Strait songs for Francoeur and the Mets to sing:Q – What is one thing that most people don’t know about Jeff Francouer?
“That I want to be a country music singer worse than you could ever imagine. I would actually give up my baseball talent to be a country music singer and most people don’t know that.”
It was at this point that he told me about one of his habits when he is out in the outfield. He said that when he is standing there and no balls are coming his way, he has been known to start singing a country tune every now and then, sometimes singing a classic George Strait tune to pass the time until he is involved in the action.
- Fool-Hearted Memory
- A Fire I Can't Put Out
- Let's Fall to Pieces Together
- Famous Last Words of a Fool
- I Cross My Heart
- I'd Like to Have That One Back
- Today My World Slipped Away
- We Really Shouldn't Be Doing This
- The Chill of An Early Fall
- I've Come to Expect It From You
Come to think of it, country music and the Mets have a lot in common - misery!
And there is one Strait song that best fits how the team - and their fans - must feel right now: "I Hate Everything."
