Kevin Costner doesn't just make movies about baseball, he writes songs about it too!
The actor recently penned a new song called "It's All Up To You" as a salute to the 2008 American League East Division champion Rays.
His band, Modern West, recorded the song just last week in honor of the young squad.
"I ran into Joe up in Toronto [earlier this season]," Costner told MLB.com. "And said you guys need a war song ... something you can play in the locker room after you win and get that group feeling."
"I felt in the back of my head this could work for them," he added. "Lyrically, we added some lines that metaphorically are where they are at."
The song is about overcoming adversity and contains snippets of the Rays radio highlights. It includes the chorus: You got to swing for the fence, give a hundred percent / Dust yourself off, get up and do it again / You're the only one that can make your dreams come true / You're the only one, it's all up to you.
Just yesterday, it was announced that Kevin and the band are set to release a country music album.
