Bryan Ruby Songs

Centerfield is the newest single from trailblazing pro baseball player turned country artist Bryan Ruby. The single was released over all platforms on August 25, 2023.

“Centerfield” was originally released by John Fogerty, who also penned the song, in March 1985 as the B-side of “Rock and Roll Girls.” It was also the title track of Fogerty’s comeback album about a decade after leaving Creedence Clearwater Revival. A track that combined two of his passions, baseball and rock and roll, the song has been a fixture at baseball parks everywhere, played during team breaks and in between innings. Even the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York is known for playing it. The song also garnered a 1985 Grammy nomination for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance.

Spending most of his life on baseball fields, Bryan Ruby wants fans to know he considers it an honor to record a cover of such a beloved song. A journeyman professional ballplayer who has heard “Centerfield” played in baseball parks worldwide for years, it’s no surprise that the song holds a lot of meaning to him personally.  

“This song is an all-time classic and a personal favorite of mine,” expressed Bryan Ruby.  “When I think of a ‘baseball song,’ I immediately think of ‘Centerfield.’ As the son of a lifelong baseball coach and a longtime player myself, this ballpark anthem has truly been the soundtrack of our lives. I’m proud to put my own personal spin on it. It’s already been a nonstop summer. I’ve been crisscrossing the country at stadiums big and small singing the “Star Spangled Banner,” “God Bless America,” and doing pregame and postgame ballpark shows. I wanted my version of ‘Centerfield’ to channel the energy and excitement we feel at the stadium every day. We bumped up the tempo compared to the original version, added a key change in the final chorus, and layered in a few extra guitars in order to really blow the roof off of it.

Hometown gone city

With a weathered ball cap as its emotional centerpiece, Bryan Ruby’s new single threads lived-in memories and identity into a stripped-down country anthem. Featuring warm, modern production and Ruby’s signature baritone, “Ball Cap” captures the quiet power of the objects - and stories - we carry from ballfields to backroads. Written by Ryan Brisotti, Dan Leathersich, and Michael Keys, the song elevates everyday nostalgia into something deeply personal and sonically intimate. For audiophiles and music lovers, it’s a heartfelt listen that lingers - perfect for fans of narrative-rich, emotionally raw country storytelling.

"'Ball Cap' is one of the most personal songs I’ve ever recorded. It’s about the places, the people, and the memories that shape us—how something as simple as an old hat can carry a lifetime of stories and meaning. Coming from baseball into country music, I’ve learned that no matter where life takes you, your roots are always with you. Releasing this one as the summer heats up just feels right, and I can’t wait for y’all to hear it." -Bryan Ruby

“The thing about a ball cap is it’s right there, right above your eyes for everyone to see as soon as they look at you. And whether it’s “my buddy gave it to me”, or “I worked at this job for over 10 years” or “me and my dad used to be season ticket holders”, every one tells a story.” -Ryan Brisotti, Cowriter

“A casual hat has become so iconic in our culture. That choice you made to add it to your closet becomes part of your identity.” -Dan Leathersich, Cowriter
