The World Series has started, and as America enjoys its pastime on television screens across the nation, we turn our attention to audio — specifically, music for baseball as featured on screens.

This episode is going to be a little different, since we mixed both songs and original scores. But it’s going to be fun just the same.

So grab some peanuts and Crackerjacks; I don’t know if you’ll ever get back.
