The All American Game
By Toni Gamarro-Payne
Baseball the all American game,
No two players are ever the same.
Ruth, Mantel, Di Maggio,
Some of the names that made you go,
Watch the game, cheer them on,
Still cheering long after their gone.
New faces and names,
Yet the game is still the same.
Four balls you walk, three strikes your out,
Hitting the ball is what it's about.
Rounding the bases to cheers from the crowd,
Doing your job makes you proud.
Win or lose it's how you play,
No matter what the fans say.
Some will boo others cheer,
Blended sounds is what you hear.
Makes no difference what they say.
Baseball is what you're here to play.
Stand as a team together and strong,
The crack of the bat is your music, your song.
