Y'all might skewer me for this, but I can't recall having ever heard the song "Dixieland Delight" prior to Neyland on Saturday (my excuse is that I'm originally a northerner). I had heard people refer to it and have watched a lot of bama games, but I guess I always turned it off as soon as the clock hit zero. It's a great song, and is all the more meaningful since I will always associate it so strongly with the glorious bama game now.

No worries, Professor. I’m not a country music fan per se, but this is the one group that I have listened to over the years. They have some really great songs. Check ‘em out when you get a little time. These guys wrote and sang about real-life living as much as any I know. Go Vols!

Yes, I'll have to check out more. It took me a while to incorporate country into my playlist, but now I'll happily listen to some Merle, Johnny Cash, etc.

Another good find came courtesy of the baseVols. I was at a February game last year and in between innings heard for the first time "Family Tradition" by Hank Jr. I enjoy that one now and find it a great song to associate with TN baseball!

On October 18 in Baseball History...​
  • 1910 - The Philadelphia Athletics pounded the Chicago Cubs 9-3 for a 2-0 lead in the World Series. Eddie Collins had three hits, including two doubles, and two stolen bases.

  • 1950 - Connie Mack, at age 87, retired as manager of the Philadelphia Athletics after 50 years, and Jimmy Dykes was named to replace him. Mack, together with Ben Shibe, founded the Athletics in 1901.

  • 1960 - Instituting a mandatory retirement age of 65, New York Yankee co-owners Dan Topping and Del Webb relieve Casey Stengel (1,149-696) as manager.
  • 1967 - The AL approves the Athletics' shift to Oakland. Kansas City is promised a new team by 1971. When Senator Stuart Symington and Kansas City Mayor Ilus Davis threaten action against the move, AL President Joe Cronin reopens talks, and the expansion deadline is moved forward to 1969.

  • 1972 - With runners at second and third and a 3-2 count, the A's fake an intentional walk and strike out Johnny Bench looking in Game Three. Blue Moon Odom fans 11, but Cincinnati's Jack Billingham is the 1-0 winner as the Reds win their first game of the World Series.

  • 1973 - The Mets' Jerry Koosman and Tug McGraw combined to three-hit the Oakland A's and take 3-2 lead in the World Series.

  • 1977 - Reggie Jackson hit three consecutive home runs to lead New York to an 8-4 victory over the Los Angles Dodgers and give the Yankees the World Series title in six games. Jackson drove in five runs, and all three shots came on the first pitch.

  • 1988 - Mark McGwire's home run off Jay Howell in the bottom of the ninth gives Oakland a 2-1 win in Game Three of the World Series.

  • 1992 - Ed Sprague's two-run home run in the ninth inning off Jeff Reardon in Game Two gives Toronto a 5-4 win over Atlanta and evens the World Series.

  • 1997 - The first World Series game ever played in Florida belongs to the Marlins. Moises Alou and Charles Johnson smack back-to-back home runs against Cleveland's Orel Hershiser to make a 7-4 winner of Livan Hernandez in Game One.
