Today is Team Day during The Current's Member Drive — when you support The Current at $12 per month, you can choose a The Current team scarf as your thank-you gift.

With that in mind, we're thinking about teams for today's Coffee Break. As it happens, there are a lot of songs that name-check sports teams and sports figures. So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear that shout out sports teams or professional athletes?
