This is all time great album style rock and roll - it was so good that AM radio stations played it despite its length (and still do). I love the story of how Todd Rundgren supposedly tricked Phil Ruzutto into doing the baseball play-by-play by not telling him that it was a metaphor for sex. I read once that some Boston radio stations produced an alternate version of the song with a Red Sox announcer performing the baseball part. It's on my "All Time Classics" playlist in my ipod.
