Wikipedia - "'There Used to Be a Ballpark' is a song written by Joe Raposo and recorded by Frank Sinatra for Sinatra's 1973 album, Ol’ Blue Eyes Is Back. The song expresses sadness at the loss of a baseball team and its ballpark, which once gave its fans and players joy, along with other childhood delights such as 'rock candy and a great big Fourth of July'. A key phrase in the song is 'Now the children try to find it / And they can't believe their eyes / For the old team just isn't playing / And the new team hardly tries.' The song has often been cited by books and websites that discuss old-time baseball."
