Scott Stapp Wants You To Play Baseball

By Mark Lorenz on April 19th, 2010

If you’ve ever enjoyed listening to Creed, not only are you probably half-deaf, but I would make fun of you to your face. Heavily. But thankfully for all of us, Scott Stapp decided to legitimize Creed’s ridiculousness.

Everyone loves baseball. Baseball inspires people to do things, like get blackout drunk and attack people wearing black and white. Or eat things that would never belong in a human body in any other circumstance, such as Luther burgers, or jumbo hot dogs. And sing. Baseball inspires people to sing. Or make music, in the case of The Outfield. Baseball also inspires people to be ridiculous, like most sporting events. And when the stars align, the two come together.

Then, when the gods smile down on us, we get things like Scott Stapp singing about baseball. Not just singing, SANGIN’.

Generally, Creed, despite being one of the most maligned bands of all time, are still pretty popular – but everything that Scott Stapp touches seems to turn into douche. Including this anthem for the Marlins. Here’s a tip, sports fans – if you’re a famous musician and you want to record music for a sporting event, you should probably stick with professional wrestling. They have a good pedigree – Rage Against The Machine, Motorhead, Disturbed.

But baseball? Now all they have is Creed.
