Description
“Take This Heart” is a song by Richard Marx, the third single from his 1991 album Rush Street. It hit number twenty on the Billboard Hot 100, while reaching number four on the Adult Contemporary chart in the U.S. In the UK, the song hit number thirteen as the follow-up to top three hit “Hazard”.
Video:
In the video, Marx is seen playing for the Chicago Cubs against the Oakland As, in the seventh game of the World Series (Marx is a Chicagoan and a noted Cubs fan). In the classic baseball clutch situation — last of the ninth, two outs — Marx faces As star relief pitcher Dennis Eckersley (who plays himself). The baseball scenes (complete with announcer Bob Uecker, who also plays himself) are intercut with Marx and his band playing the song on the field of the As ballpark, the Oakland Coliseum.
Finally, with two strikes on him, Marx slams a home run to win the game for Chicago, to the dismay of Oakland players Rickey Henderson and José Canseco (who make cameos, as does Cubs manager Jim Lefebvre). Then we see a dozing Marx shaken awake; his homer was just a dream. But as hes walking out, the announcer on the television shouts “The Cubs win the World Series!”
