Yo La Tengo (Spanish for "I have it") is an American indie rock band,
based in Hoboken, New Jersey. With more than 15 albums released since
1984, they have demonstrated unusual longevity for the indie-rock scene.
While they are a critical favorite with a devoted fan base they have
achieved limited mainstream success.
Etymology , New York City.]]The band's name comes from a baseball
anecdote. During the 1962 season, New York Mets center fielder Richie
Ashburn and Venezuelan shortstop Elio Chacón found themselves colliding in
the outfield. When Ashburn went for a catch, he would scream, "I got it! I
got it!" only to run into the 160-pound Chacón, who spoke only Spanish.
Ashburn learned to yell, "¡Yo la tengo! ¡Yo la tengo!" which is "I have
it" in Spanish. In a later game, Ashburn happily saw Chacón backing off.
He relaxed, positioned himself to catch the ball, and was instead run over
by 200-pound left fielder Frank Thomas, w
