Bruce Springsteen steps to the plate in promos airing on FOX TV and between innings at major league ballparks to promote post season coverage of Major League Baseball. The videos will intersperse clips of Bruce and the E Street Band doing Land of Hope and Dreams with footage of Derek Jeter, Mark Teixeira, Justin Verlander, Josh Hamilton, Bryce Harper, Albert Pujols and other heavy hitters (and pitchers) from the MLB ranks.
Glory Days, from the 1984 blockbuster album Born In The U.S.A., started with a reference to a '...big baseball player back in high school' Bruce was friends with that never made it to the Big Leagues. Joe DePugh shared a funny story with Vermont Public Radio about Bruce's brief and far less glorious days as a kid playing baseball in Jersey.
