A day after the news that Dylan’s baseball-themed XM Radio episode was bequeathed to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, comes the news of another tour of minor-league baseball parks, following close on the heels of his current European tour. The first announced date is at Fifth Third Ballpark in Comstock Park, Michigan on August 12th and the tour will include another appearance at Doubleday Field in Cooperstown itself, on September 2nd, where Dylan can stop by the museum and check out both his “Baseball” radio show and a copy of “The Bootleg Series Vols. 1 - 3″ including the song Catfish.

Dylan will be backed this time not by Willie Nelson but by Jimmie Vaughan with Lou Ann Barton, Junior Brown, plus Elana James & The Continental Two (the same Elana James, obviously, who played fiddle in Dylan’s band for a while last year).

Details here on the PR Newswire.

Interesting to contemplate whether Dylan will begin playing new songs at the start of this tour, or wait until the official August 29th release and then suddenly insert them into the set. In any case, play ball!
