Backstory:
Front Baseball is a band that was born out of sheer love for music and baseball. It was in the sleepy town of Bakersfield, California that three childhood friends – Jack, Pete, and Charlie – decided to fuse their passion for rock music and baseball into one unforgettable sound. During their middle school years, they would often retreat to Jack’s garage after their little league games, pick up their instruments, and jam late into the night. Their camaraderie on the baseball field found a natural extension in their music, leading to the formation of Front Baseball.
As high school athletes turned college rockers, the trio started making a name for themselves in the local music scene. Their unique blend of baseball-inspired lyrics and hard-hitting rock sound got them signed with a local indie label. They continue their musical journey with the same love for the game and the stage that brought them together in the first place.

Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] Under the stadium lights we [D] stand,
[Em] Clutching dreams in our worn-out [C] hands,
[G] The crowd is roaring, the game’s on [D] our side,
[Em] With spirits high, we’ll take this [C] ride.
(Chorus)
[G] Bases loaded, hearts on [D] fire,
[Em] Playing the game, reaching [C] higher and higher,
[G] Strumming the chords like we [D]swing the bat,
[Em] This is where our hearts [C] are at.
(Verse 2)
[G] Sweat and dust, the game ain’t [D] clean,
[Em] But in our hearts, we’re still [C] sixteen,
[G] Chasing dreams on the baseball [D] diamond,
[Em] Tuning our guitars in perfect [C] rhyme.
(Chorus)
[G] Bases loaded, hearts on [D] fire,
[Em] Playing the game, reaching [C] higher and higher,
[G] Strumming the chords like we [D] swing the bat,
[Em] This is where our hearts [C] are at.
(Outro)
[G] As the sun sets, the game [D] ends,
[Em] But our music, it never [C] bends,
[G] With every note and every [D] chord,
[Em] We’re living out our dreams, [C] never bored.
