OT: Opening Day

[Tom Watson]

Well, beat the drum and hold the phone - the sun came out today! We?re born again, there?s new grass on the field. A-roundin? third, and headed for home, it?s a brown-eyed handsome man; Anyone can understand the way I feel.

Chorus: Oh, put me in, coach - I?m ready to play today; Put me in, coach - I?m ready to play today; Look at me, I can be centerfield.

Well, I spent some time in the mudville nine, watchin? it from the bench; You know I took some lumps when the mighty casey struck out. So say hey willie, tell ty cobb and joe dimaggio; Don?t say it ain?t so, you know the time is now.

Chorus

Yeah! I got it, I got it!

Got a beat-up glove, a homemade bat, and brand-new pair of shoes; You know I think it?s time to give this game a ride. Just to hit the ball and touch ?em all - a moment in the sun; (pop) it?s gone and you can tell that one goodbye!

Chorus Chorus Yeah!

Published with the permission of the only man alive who could give it.

Enjoy.

And the Braves are on their way to a 15th division and another loss in the divisional series.

[Mark & Juanita]

... but how are the Rangers doing? ;-)

[Leon]

Who are the Rangers? ;~)

[Joe Wells]

That's one of those new minor league teams that plays by funny rules.

[dlo]

I've heard of another minor league team like that called the Reds. A friend told me about a big red machine that the Reds had. I can't picture what kind of machine it was. Maybe a Shopsmith.

[noonenparticular]

If it was a big red machine, it was probably a Milwaukee hammer drill.

or mayhaps a Hilti?????

[Tom Watson]

Johnny Bench, Pete Rose, Joe Morgan, Tony Perez, Dave Concepcion, George Foster, Ken Griffey, Cesar Geronimo.

Good Lord...

I know. I grew up an hour from Cincy. They are just gone so far away from the big red machine days. I used to go see them all the time. I still have the scar from getting caught in Pedro Borbon's car door while I was trying to get an autograph.

[Tom Watson]

Seems like yesterday to me.

Must be an age thing.
