Barry Zito releases new music video: ‘Ballpark Kids’

When we last heard from Barry Zito, the former Oakland A’s star pitcher was reaching new heights in his music career. Back in May, he was revealed as one of the mystery contestants on the TV show America’s Got Masked Voice Idols, or some combination of those words and maybe other words.

Now the Cy-Young-turned-singer-songwriter has made his next mark on the music world, with the release of a new song titled “Ballpark Kids.” The track reminisces on carefree childhood days when playing baseball can be the top (only?) priority, before adulthood brings other responsibilities.
