Auburn students score with musical tribute to Braves’ Teixeira By Kelly Kazekkelly@athensnews-courier.com
15 minutes The 30 to 45 minutes it took Hall, 23, and Crawford, 20, to write and record “Mark Teixeira Tribute” should bring them more than just 15 minutes of fame. “We would joke about playing at the seventh inning stretch at Turner Field,” Crawford said. Hall, who played baseball at ABS and during his first year at Auburn, said the idea for the song began when he, Crawford and friend Jason Williams were watching TV after first baseman Teixeira, pronounced Tishera, was traded to the Braves earlier this month. “I invited a couple of buddies over to watch the first game after we found out Mark Teixeira traded and we started goofing around,” he said. “We started coming up with these crazy rhymes. We wrote them all down just for fun. Later that night, we decided to write a song about it.” Less than an hour later, Hall and Crawford were officially a song-writing team. “Three or four days went by after we had written it and we played it for our roommates just for fun,” Hall said. The response encouraged them to post the song on an online networking site. “We put it on Face Book first and several people commented,” he said. “When we put it on You Tube, obviously we weren’t expecting all this to happen.” In the first few days, Hall and Crawford enjoyed reading comments posted on You Tube by viewers: “That is the best thing EVER!!!!! I want it on my iPod!!!!” “I hope to see this on TV during a game before too long.”
