game
Where science Is at the but
And the players play
In a technical way
Till a rubo can't tell where they're
at
.Where scores are highest when noth
ing at all
And nobody takcB a base;
Where nobody makes
Any sort of mistakes
And evwytMng's just in place.
Where spectators keep on tho watch
for playH
So close that tt gives theui a pain;
And whatovor's done
In hit, catch or run
They scream at to take oft" the
strain.
Oh, carry mo back to the old-fashioned
game
That doesn't, know science at all,
Where, f.bo sides go in
With a whoop to win,
And they don't do a thins but play
hall.
.Where twenty or thirty or forty runs
Aro likely aB not to ho made;
And tins baga aro hut
From many a awat
In giinws) that aro placed us is
played.
Whero the catcher don't look like an
armored knight
And th pitcher la not so Intense,
The barter can't hit
'Em a WWe hit,
But bangs 'em clean over the fence.
'Where something is doing that sure
stlrn up tho soul
About every mlnuto or so.
With ho homo runs made
And doulflo iriaye played
And the whole darn tiling on the go.
.Where grandstand and bleachers are
all of a kfcnd,
And aro there because they are

To seo a good game
That's good Just tlio same
Though science bo up in the air.
