You hear them in the fields now
Cracking of the bats,
Spitting in the ground,
The dry dust from inflield, inwards.
Listen to that 3 and 1 or a Fullcount.
Hey, Ump! What's the count!
Never thought I'd see these days again
Yet, here I am at the ballpark.
No, there is no longer old songs
You heard singing back in the day,
"Buy me peanuts and crackerjacks,"
For they are all out for Win, win, win.
Even as young as 6, 7, and 10.
How sad they forgot its in the love of
Love of the crack of old bat
Flying of the balls,
For not win or lose,
Its just game, of the
Baseball!
