Ruth Roberts: Home

I’m so happy to introduce all of you to my wonderful mother-in-law, Ruth Roberts, the clever creator of the most famous sports songs in our country’s history! Her awesomely popular "Meet the Mets" is the theme song for the New York Mets; and "It's a Beautiful Day for a Ball Game" is played on the radio as the theme for the Los Angeles Dodgers before every game. All you sports fans out there will also recognize her football game anthem, "Mr. Touchdown," and her retro Valentine to one very famous baseball player, "I Love Mickey Mantle."

And, “heads-up” all you Beatles and Buddy Holly fans because my incredibly hip-before-her-time mom-in-law wrote a bluesy song that these guys all recorded called “Mailman Bring Me No More Blues” !

As a singer myself, I recently recorded some of Ruth's popular ballads – and even one of her Gospel songs – on my new album, Kindred Spirits; please give it a listen at http://sandrapiller.com/music.html.

Ruth also wrote tons of elementary school Mini-musicals that are hip enough for the “High School Musical” fan in all of us! You might want to direct all of your kids’ teachers to her colorful/musical website to hear excerpts from some of these Mini-musicals: www.michaelbrent.com
