No football.
Yo La Tengo, the best rock band with a baseball-related name, comes to Warehouse Live Thursday behind its (typically) excellent new album Popular Songs. With slightly less chilly temperatures, the Yo La visit and the impending hibernation of football (thank Christ), there's no time like the present to get warm and fuzzy thinking about baseball. So rattle off five songs about baseball players in the comments below before 3 p.m. Wednesday and you'll be entered to win a pair of Yo La tix.
