MANGIONE'S VERSION OF BASEBALL STANDARD A HIT AT CAMDEN YARDS

[July 28, 1997] -- Mangione's version of baseball standard a hit at Camden Yards Rochester musician/composer Gap Mangione's rendition is a big hit at Baltimore's Camden Yards.

Six times in the last three weeks, the song was played as the Orioles took the field to start a home game.

"It's too early to call it a tradition, but we love it," says Orioles director of events Spiro Alafassos. "It's upbeat and fun to listen to."

The song has been played during and after several Red Wings games this season, but not nearly often enough.
