About

ABOUT US

Founded by a group of professional musicians with a nearly uncontainable love and passion for both baseball and music, The Baseball Music Project is dedicated to fostering greater awareness of the cultural lineage and historical significance of music written about baseball, through concerts, recordings, and related outreach events and projects.

Baseball and music have been indelibly intertwined since the sport's inception. Nearly one hundred songs were written about baseball between 1858 and 1900 alone, and the major collections of baseball music in the USA (the Library of Congress, the Newberry Library, the Levy Collection at Johns Hopkins and the Steele Collection at the National Baseball Hall of Fame) contain nearly one thousand works written about the sport, commencing with the first known piece of baseball music, J.R. Blodgett's "The Baseball Polka", composed in 1858.

More than 2,500 songs have been written about baseball...more than any other sport (and next to love, perhaps more than any other subject). In one rare musical moment, over 1,000 songs were written in just ninety days about just one team (the Hollywood Stars, a Pacific Coast League team, sponsored a three-month songwriting contest in 1954, during which they received over 1,000 entries submitted from thirteen states). The Library of Congress even has a section devoted solely to music about baseball.

When Walter OMalley told Brooklyn he was taking the Dodgers to Los Angeles, Brooklyn hit back hard with baseballs one and only protest song, "Lets Keep the Dodgers in Brooklyn". When Joe DiMaggio went on a fifty-six-game hitting streak, Les Brown and his Band of Renown cheered with "Joltin Joe DiMaggio". When Jackie Robinson broke major leagues color barrier in 1947, the legendary Count Basie and his band paid tribute with "Did You See Jackie Robinson Hit That Ball?" The Say Hey Kid, Willie Mays, was celebrated in the song "Say Hey" by The Treniers, and Larry Doby was honored along with Robinson in Brownie McGhee's "Robbie-Doby Boogie".

No other sport has seen such a cross-pollination of musician-ballplayers, from Babe Ruth (pianist) to Eddie Basinski (violinist) to Denny McClain (jazz organist) to Bronson Arroyo and Jake Peavy (guitarists), along with ballplayer-musicians from John Philip Sousa to Garth Brooks, to name a few. Sousa even fielded his own amateur baseball team, and Basinski holds the distinction of being the only major league ballplayer to play in a major orchestra in the same season (the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Buffalo Philharmonic, in 1945). And then theres former New York Yankee, Bernie Williamsthe only Grammy nominated musician to also have 4 World Series rings!

The Baseball Music Project celebrates this unique love affair between music and baseball. The concerts feature the greatest music about the greatest sport, with over 2000 images and video from the National Baseball Hall of Fame & Museum, all synchronized to music, and narrated and hosted by a Hall of Famer.

Winfield Bio Dave Winfield's career is a unique chapter of American sports history. Hailed as one of the greatest athletes ever to play professional sports, he is one of only 7 players in the history of Major League Baseball to reach over 3,000 hits and over 450 home runs. The 12-time All-Star is amongst the all-time leaders in hits, home runs and RBI. He was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2001 -- his first year of eligibility.He began his career as a Williams Scholar at the University of Minnesota, where he played Big Ten basketball and baseball. An All-American in baseball, he was voted MVP of the 1973 College World Series as a pitcher, was a #1 draft pick and never spent a day in the minor leagues. Even today, he remains the only athlete ever to be drafted in by four professional sport leagues: basketball (NBA Atlanta Hawks, ABA Utah Stars), football (NFL Minnesota Vikings) and baseball (MLB San Diego Padres).His professional career took off in 1973 with the San Diego Padres, followed by eight All-Star seasons with the New York Yankees. In 1990, he joined the California Angels, followed by a magical year with the Toronto Blue Jays where he drove in the winning run of the 1992 World Series. Dave returned to his native Minnesota and reached the 3,000th hit milestone with the Twins. He ended his 22-year career after the 1995 season with the American League Champion Cleveland Indians.Dave is currently a studio analyst for ESPN SportsCenter, and is an executive vice president/senior advisor for the San Diego Padres. He serves on the boards of a few privately held companies, and serves as ambassador for the Ritz Carlton Destination Clubs. Dave is also a host/narrator of the national production The Baseball Music Project. He also conducts a nationwide seminar, Baseball Essentials, for parents, coaches and children who have goals of playing in college or in professional baseball.Dave also hosted his own morning drive radio show, On The Ball, in Los Angeles, and wrote a nationally syndicated column for St. Paul Pioneer Press. He served as spokesman for New York Summer Jobs for Youth, United Negro College Fund, Drug Enforcement Administration, New York Daily News, Ask.com/Susan G. Komen and Breast Cancer, Minnesota Board of Education and the Discovery Channel and hosted the syndicated television series Greatest Sports Legends. He's appeared on Married With Children, The Drew Carey Show, Pros vs. Joes and Windfall. In 2010, he appeared in national commercials for Verizon and Ask.com and Susan G. Komen to combat breast cancer. Since 1982, he's been a member of both the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA).Through his varied sports, business and life experiences, Dave has become a respected and versatile motivational speaker, addressing audiences from colleges and universities, to corporations such as American Express, MasterCard, John Hancock, Monster.com, Xerox, IBM, GE Small Business Solutions, General Motors, Bank of America. His dynamic, timely and specific presentations cover topics such as: community action, motivation & success, corporate productivity, sports & fitness, health & education, teamwork and leadership. He is presently on the college speaking circuit, successfully raising much needed funds and visibility for college baseball programs.Well-known for his philanthropy, Dave was the first active professional athlete to create a 501(c)(3) charitable foundation and inspired many other athletes to do the same. For over 20 years, the Winfield Foundation provided healthcare services, nutritional counseling, scholarships, computer literacy, and holiday dinners to children and families in need -- in and beyond the six major league cities he called home. He established the Winfield Nutrition Center in conjunction with Hackensack Medical Center. The Foundation's primary focus became substance abuse prevention through TURN IT AROUND, a community action campaign. The program's innovative audio/visual and print materials for elementary school children were recognized as potent and innovative tools in the war on drugs. Educators, business leaders and government agencies around the world have endorsed and utilized the bi-lingual TURN IT AROUND materials.His work was a precursor to today's MLB and MLB player's Association charitable components. Besides buying blocks of tickets to games, it was Dave's idea to open pre-game practice at the MLB Annual All-Star Game, which is now a weeklong event today.In 2008, Dave developed the format to honor the remaining Negro League players with an honorary draft into Major League Baseball by all 30 teams. He accompanied President Jimmy Carter and his Foundation, the Carter Center, to Africa on a humanitarian mission to combat local diseases and water shortages.Dave's charitable and community work has earned him numerous honors, including: The Minnesota Jaycees 10 Outstanding Young Men Award, the YMCA Brian Piccolo Award, the first Branch Rickey Community Service Award, American League Joe Cronin Award, Josh Gibson Leadership Award and Major League Baseball's Roberto Clemente Award. The Professional Baseball Scouts Foundation in Los Angeles annually presents the Dave Winfield Humanitarian Award for community service. He's received honorary Doctorate of Laws from both Syracuse University and Thomas Jefferson School of Law, and was selected one of America's 10 Outstanding Young Men.An accomplished author, his autobiography, Winfield: A Player's Life was a New York Times best seller. He also wrote a drug education book, TURN IT AROUND! There's No Room Here For Drugs; an acclaimed "how-to" called The Complete Baseball Player; a compilation of syndicated children's advice column called, "Ask Dave", and his latest, Dropping The Ball, an in-depth look at baseball's current problems and possible solutions. He is a frequent contributor to the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times.He's been elected to the Halls of Fame for St. Paul Central High School, the University of Minnesota, the San Diego Padres, NCAA College Baseball and the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

Thompson Bio Bob Thompson (Music Director, Founder & Producer) grew up in Hawthorne, New York, the resting place of Babe Ruth. Bob's claim to fame is that he played trumpet at George Steinbrenner's daughter's wedding, for which George gave him two crisp one-hundred-dollar bills which Bob in turn blew on Yankees tickets. A south-paw, he still sleeps with his left-handed catchers mitt under his pillow. Bob's been a host of the XM Radio Show, Voices of the Game with singer/songwriter Randy Newman as Bob's guest. Together with former New York Yankee and Latin Grammy-nominated musician, Bernie Williams, Bob and Bernie co-wrote, Rhythms of the Game: The Link Between Musical and Athletic Performance, for which Paul Simon wrote the foreword. Bob is also co-author of a second best selling book, Baseballs Greatest Hit: The Story of Take Me Out to the Ball Game, for which Carly Simon wrote the foreword and Commissioner of Baseball Bud Selig wrote the introduction. He's the worlds foremost Baseball Musicologist (even though the American Musicological Society has yet to recognize baseball musicology as a legitimate field of study worthy of post-doctoral research) and appeared on CBS's Sunday Morning with Charles Osgood, where he talked about all things baseball and music. Apart from baseball, Bob is a two-time Grammy-nominated producer and musician, having toured and performed with an array of artists and groups, including the Moody Blues, Yes, The Temptations, The Four Tops and many others. He produced the Grammy-nominated recording Allegresse by composer Maria Schneider for ENJA Records and served as music consultant to the Johnny Depp-Cate Blanchett film, The Man Who Cried, for Universal Pictures. He has been increasingly successful in placing contemporary classical music, including the music of Arvo Part, in such major motion pictures as Fahrenheit 911, The Insider, Swept Away, and Heaven. He produced and performed in the world premiere of Osvaldo Golijov's La Pasion Segun San Marcos (a magnificent triumph of Latin-American music ...The Los Angeles Times), for which the live recording also received a Grammy nomination, and launched and produced the first U.S. tour of the work in 2002. Thompson worked extensively with The Kronos Quartet and Nonesuch Records in producing their Grammy-winning recording of Alban Bergs The Lyric Suite. He has continued to produce live concerts throughout the U.S. and Europe, including the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Tanglewood Music Festival, Ravinia Festival, and the Brooklyn Academy of Music.From 1997 through 2007, Thompson was the President of Universal Edition, a music company with offices in Vienna, London, and New York and home to such composers as Bela Bartok, Alban Berg, Luciano Berio, Pierre Boulez, Arvo Part, Arnold Schonberg, and Kurt Weill. During his tenure, Thompson expanded the operations of Universal into film and production and was credited in the Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians for having spearheaded the acquisition of new composers and opening the companys first office in the United States. As a conductor, Thompson has conducted the Chicago, Seattle, Detroit, San Diego, Houston and Phoenix Symphonies among others. He is a founding member of Rhythm & Brass, an ensemble that is sponsored by Yamaha and tours throughout the U.S. and Japan. He recorded two albums for DNote Records with Rhythm & Brass, along with his own solo album, Parallels, with guitarist Gene Bertoncini. Bob has served as a Dean of music at SUNY Purchase College, received the University of South Florida's Distinguished Alumni Award, and holds a doctorate in music from the Eastman School of Music, University of Rochester.

Castleberry Bio Originally from Atlanta, Georgia, Misty Castleberry moved to New York to attend the Eastman School of Music where she earned both her Bachelor's and Master's degrees in vocal performance. During her time in Rochester, Misty performed in many productions with Eastman Opera Theatre, including the roles of Clara in Passion, Miles in The Turn of the Screw, Cissie Woodger in Albert Herring and Laura in The Goblin Market. A specialist in the music of Kurt Weill, Misty presented several recitals of Kurt Weill's music at Lincoln Center and sang the soubrette role in Mahogonny Songspiel at the Kurt Weill Festival in 1998. Equally proficient in oratorio, Misty sang both the St. Matthew and St. John Passion, as well as Haydn's Lord Nelson Mass and the Haydn Harmonie Messe, Bach's Cantata 140 "Wachet auf," Mozart's Mass in C Minor and the Mozart Requiem. Misty performed the role of Lily in The Secret Garden at the Fulton Opera House in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and the Atlanta Lyric Theatre.A fair-weather fan of the Atlanta Braves, Misty couldn't stick out the tough years in the late 1980's and early 1990's. But when they won the World Series in 1995, she didn't miss a wink of it. Misty fondly remembers family baseball games every summer, and although she never played in an organized league, she still loves the feeling of rounding third base, knowing you're almost home. And she still dreams of singing the National Anthem at a professional game.

Mankowski Bio Born in St. Paul, Minnesota in 1966, Forrest "Woody" Mankowski has been performing professionally since age 12. Besides singing, he also plays tenor, alto and soprano saxophones, as well as clarinet and flute. He is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, with a B.A. in Music Performance. He lived in New York City for two years, where he played regularly with the band "New York City Swing" and also composed and arranged music for the off-Broadway theatre group, "Project 400".Woody has also worked in many recording studios as a commercial singer/instrumentalist. You may have heard him on television or radio singing/playing lead on literally hundreds of jingles for clients such as Turner Classic Movies, Simplicity Lawn Mowers and Miller Lite.As a free-lance musician, Woody has backed up popular artists such as The Temptations, The Four Tops, James Ingram and Peabo Bryson. He has played in the pit orchestras for touring Broadway shows including "The Producers", "Chicago", and "Hairspray".Woody taught Jazz Saxophone at Lawrence University for six years. At the time of this writing, he has written thirty-five music transcription books for Hal Leonard Corporation. Woody leads a jazz quartet, and frequently collaborates with other musicians in the Midwest.Concerning baseball, Woody says: "Growing up in Wisconsin, I remember spending summer evenings floating on a pontoon boat up at the lake by my Grandparents' cabin. There always seemed to be a transistor radio playing a Brewers game. Now, my own son is finally old enough to start learning how to play the game. I haven't yet been able to convince him that catching is as important as batting. Musically, though, he knows how to swing, and he might even have perfect pitch, which would be nice."

Sturm Bio Fred Sturm (Artistic Director) received grants from the NEA and Lila Wallace-Reader's Digest Fund to compose "A Place Where It Would Always Be Spring," a nine "inning" baseball symphony with former Yankee great Tony Kubek as narrator. A renowned composer, arranger, author, and educator, Fred is a professor at Lawrence University, previously served as chair of the Jazz Studies and Contemporary Media department at the Eastman School of Music, and received the prestigious 2003 ASCAP/IAJE Commission in Honor of Quincy Jones. Fred lives and dies with the fortunes of his beloved Chicago Cubs.

Laws Bio Maury Laws (Arranger) is one of the top orchestra arrangers in the country. During the 50's and 60's he wrote for many recording artists and created numerous national television commercials. Laws' first job as a musical director was for the animated production "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" which has aired on network television every year since 1964.He went on to compose, arrange and conduct music for many popular television specials and films including "The Hobbit." Among his recognitions are a Peabody Award and an Emmy nomination. Laws has also composed for the Off-Broadway theater and has scored symphonic works for orchestras in this country and in Europe.

Mushalla Bio Michael Mushalla (Co-Producer) is currently President of Double M Arts & Events, one of the leading contemporary artist management companies. Michael, who grew up in Brooklyn close to Ebbets Field, currently handles such artists as the acclaimed Mark Morris Dance Group. Both Michael and Bob have jointly produced concerts and tours at Ravinia, Tanglewood, and throughout the USA. Michael was formerly a Vice-President at Columbia Artists Music International.

Coaches Rob Hudson (Research Director) is the associate archivist at Carnegie Hall and a freelance trombonist, composer and arranger. When hes not busy cataloging the history of Carnegie Hall, Rob has spent countless hours linking the worlds most beloved concert hall to the worlds most beloved sport. For instance, he discovered that Jimmy Yancey, the great boogie-woogie pianist (who also played in the Negro leagues), performed at Carnegie Hall while holding a day job as a groundskeeper at Comiskey Park. Rob has taught at the Eastman School of Music, the University of New Hampshire, and the University of Connecticut, and is the author of "Evolution: The Improvisational Style of Bob Brookmeyer."Nathan Heleine (Multimedia Director) Nathan grew up near Chicago as an ardent Cubs fan, but his recent move to NYC has brought about a strangely hypnotic reaction to pinstripes. He is still trying to reconcile his new found love of the Yankees with feelings of betrayal towards his hometown team. The unlikely occurrence of a Cubs-Yankees World Series could prove to be tragic for him. Nathan is also a graduate of the Eastman School of Music, where he studied saxophone as a Jazz Performance major.Matt Blanchard (Multimedia Programming) is a graduate of the Eastman School of Music where he earned a degree in Jazz Performance - Saxophone. He is also a member of the heavy metal horn band called Jerseyband. Matt's most vivid memories of his illustrious Little League career center around getting beaned nearly every time he was up to bat. As a founding member of Boom Design Group, and by managing the multi-media and software synchronization issues for the Baseball Music Project, Matt hopes to overcome his frustration with the wild pitching of his youth.Madeline Sturm (Design Director), is a graduate of the Eastman School of Music and active artist/musician in New York. Born and raised in the Midwest with a home-made baseball field in her backyard, Maddy played a mean shortstop-third base, making varsity as a middle-schooler and batting cleanup.Mary Anne Lewis (Project Developer) started her baseball life as a Little League fan, yelling for brother Freddy in Crossett, Arkansas in the 1960s. There followed nearly forty darksome years without baseball before Mary Anne was recruited in 2003 as Louisianas only New York Yankees fan. A decade as director of the North Central Louisiana Arts Council taught her that any time sports and the arts come together, everyone is happy. She now works with Double M Arts & Events as Project Developer.Mike Breneis (Music Production Manager) lives in a section of Vienna, Austria that is home to Vienna's one and only baseball field. Although Mike has never been to a baseball game, he first learned of the game while watching "The Bad News Bears" as a kid. Mike is an amazing drummer, and was formerly senior editor at Universal Edition, the music publishing company. His band, Forms of Plasticity, has two albums out on Universal Music.Michael Cooney (Tour Manager) Michael should have realized that he did not have much of a future in baseball when got hit by a ball his first time at bat at the age of 6. Determined to overcome his fears, he re-joined the little league in the 8th grade (although the reason for this had to do more with impressing his childhood sweetheart). Deciding that athletics were not in the cards, Michael went on to the University of Connecticut, where he received a degree in Music Performance (percussion) and Composition. After graduating, Michael worked at Columbia Artists Management, for 13 years. He then formed his own company, ETC (Entertainment Tour Consulting) and has since been putting tours together for organizations specializing in dance, theatre and music.Jenny E. Goelz (Stage Manager) spent many summer days as a child at the neighborhood baseball field cheering on her brother Kelly's Little League team. She has a knack for attracting stray fly balls and now carefully selects seats when attending a game to avoid being hit. Jenny holds an MFA in stage management from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Her recent stage management credits include Mikel Rouse's The End Of Cinematics and The Nutcracker for the Champaign Urbana Ballet. While a graduate student she served as event coordinator for many productions at Krannert Center for the Performing Arts. She will tour nationally and internationally with The End Of Cinematics this fall.
