anyone a subscriber to The Athletic? my understanding is that the two writers of this piece left "Centerfield" off their top 30, incurring boomer wrath, but more unforgivably included Terry Cashman's torturous "Talkin' Baseball."
And #1? The Mountain Goats' "Cubs in Five."

You don't have to c&p the whole piece, but the 30 ranked titles would do.
Also this EW discussion was pretty fun:
