Baseball Mixtape: Kenesaw Mountain Landis

Words to win my heart: Kenesaw Mountain Landis was a bad motherfucker.

So begins this Dylan-esque tune by Jonathan Coulton, geek-folk troubadour. The lyrics weave their way from old Kenesaw himself, to Shoeless Joe Jackson, to the singer Joe Jackson -- oft mistaken for Elvis Costello -- of Is She Really Going Out With Him fame.

Thanks to Ted for the suggestion and the cool new Turntable logo.
