On Saturday night the Killers headlined Innings Festival, the baseball-themed music festival that's been taking place in Tempe, Arizona during spring training the past few years. The band really went with the theme, opening their set with a cover of John Fogerty's baseball anthem "Centerfield."

"Centerfield" originally appeared on Fogerty's eponymous 1985 album. It's probably one of the best-known baseball songs after "Take Me Out To The Ball Game," which played while the Killers walked onstage. Though the band has played at least one MLB-related event in the past, Innings was their first time performing "Centerfield" live. They did "Mr. Brightside" right after. Bold move!
