On this day, January 14, 1985, John Fogerty released his third solo album, Centerfield. This iconic album marked Fogerty’s triumphant return to music after a decade-long hiatus following his time as the frontman of Creedence Clearwater Revival.

Centerfield was a major success, hitting #1 on the US Billboard 200 and topping the charts in Norway and Sweden. Featuring tracks like The Old Man Down the Road and the baseball-inspired title track Centerfield, the album showcased Fogerty’s signature rock and roll style combined with heartfelt storytelling.

Fun Fact: The title track, Centerfield, became an enduring anthem for baseball, often played at stadiums across America and during major league events.
