"Headfirst Slide into Cooperstown on a Bad Bet"
Song

"Headfirst Slide into Cooperstown on a Bad Bet" is Fall Out Boy's second single from their fifth studio album Folie à Deux. It was released as part of the build up to the new album on iTunes on October 7, 2008.

It is set to be followed on October 14, 2008, by "What a Catch, Donnie", then on October 21 with "America's Sweethearts"[citation needed]. Purchasing each track from iTunes deducts the cost of Folie à Deux when bought from the iTunes Store due to the "Complete My Album" promotion being used with Folie à Deux. [2]

This song was originally titled "Does Your Husband Know?" according to an MTV article.[citation needed] Presumably, the title of the song refers to former Major League Baseball player Pete Rose, known for sliding headfirst into bases. Rose was blackballed from baseball due to a betting scandal while managing the Cincinnati Reds and will likely be kept out of the Hall of Fame, located in Cooperstown, N.Y., because of it.
