There was one singer A. He recorded a song titled X. Another singer , B, made a cover of this song years later. One commentator,C, once made a comment that somehow connected B and X to baseball.
Name all three persons, A, B and C, title of the song X and what did C say about B and X.

It would be cool if B were Neil DIAMOND. But he doesn't fit the clues.

A - Roy Orbison X - "Blue Bayou" B - Linda Ronstadt C - Tim McCarver
"Blue Bayou" is a song written by Roy Orbison and Joe Melson. Recorded by Roy Orbison(hit in 1963). Linda Ronstadt recorded a cover version of it(hit in 1977). In the early 1980s, McCarver, New York Mets broadcaster then, he said, during one broadcast, that a fastball was a “Linda Ronstadt” because it was a pitch that “blew by you”. So Linda Ronstadt became a part of baseball vocabulary - a synonym for fastball.

Ronstadt was cute as hell I had major crush on her and she still remains my favorite female singer although Ann Wilson is right there

Never would have gotten that one, though like Jimbue, I had a major crush on her. I remember seeing in a concert when I was in college and I was sure she was singing to me.

Yes, I do remember Tim McCarver's comment!!! Clever pun. I liked it back at the time he made it.
Thanks for the question, Zbi - but I would never have gotten it.
