(Finished April 19th, 2026) Part 3 of The Two Time Defending World Series Champs: Los Angeles Dodgers and “Welcome To Derry”: The Best Songs of 1962

Hello,

The Dodgers have started out the 2026 season by going 15-5, hopefully on their way to a third straight World Series title. Or maybe even more?

Your Los Angeles Dodgers completed their amazing second consecutive World Series title by beating a tough Toronto Blue Jays team. Also I watched Season 1, episode 2 of the “It” prequel “Welcome To Derry” tonight. It’s titled “The Thing In The Dark”. I love some of the music in the show. I’m going to alternate songs about being a champion with selected best songs of 1962.

35) Neil Sedaka “Breaking Up Is Hard To Do”:

36) Sia “Unstoppable”:

37) Sam Cooke “Twistin’ The Night Away”:

From “The Natural”, R.I.P. Robert. 38) Roy Hobbs Game Winning Homer:

39) The Beach Boys “409”:

This goosebump giving moment is brought to you by “The Field Of Dreams”. It’s not Heaven, but it’s pretty damn close to it. 40) “Hey Dad, wanna have a catch?”

41) Don Henley “The Boys of Summer”:

42) The Four Seasons “Big Girls Don’t Cry”:

43) Alabama “Cheap Seats”:

44) The Duprees “You Belong To Me”:

45) Kenny Rogers “The Greatest”:

46) The Shirelles “Baby It’s You”:

The song that is sung during the seventh inning stretch at Boston’s Fenway Park. 47) Neil Diamond “Sweet Caroline”:

48) Jimmy Clanton “Venus In Blue Jeans”:

49) Paul Simon “Mrs Robinson”:

50) Dee Dee Sharp “Mashed Potato Time”:

51) Bobby Vinton “Roses Are Red (My Love)”:

52) The Crystals “He’s A Rebel”:
