Ball Park Incident

"Ball Park Incident" is a song by Roy Wood. A version, produced by Wood, was recorded in 1972 by his glam rock band Wizzard and released that November as their debut single, on the Harvest label. It was in the Top 40 of the UK Singles Chart for ten weeks, and stood at its highest position of number six for three weeks in January 1973. The single also reached number one on the Dutch Top 40.

The band mimed performances of the song on BBC TV's Top of the Pops on 14 and 21 December 1972, and then again on 4, 11 and 25 January 1973. The recordings of all but the last of these performances have been wiped.^[2]
