When someone asks you your favorite sport
And you answer Baseball in a blink
There are certain qualities you must possess
And you're more attached than you think.
In the frozen grip of winter
I'm sure you'll agree with me
Not a day goes by without someone
Talking baseball to some degree.
The calendar flips on New Year's Day
The Super Bowl comes and it goes
Get the other sports out of the way
The green grass and the fever grows.
It's time to pack a bag and take a trip
To Arizona or the Sunshine State
Perhaps you can't go, but there's the radio
So you listen-you root-you wait.
They start the campaign, pomp and pageantry reign
You claim the pennant on Opening Day
From April till fall
You follow the bouncing white ball
Your team is set to go all the way.
They fall short of the series
You have a case of the "wearies"
And need a break from the game
But when Christmas bells jingle
You feel that old tingle
And you're ready for more of the same.
It will be hot dogs for dinner
Six months of heaven, a winner
Yes, Baseball has always been it.
You would amaze all your friends
If they knew to what ends
You'd go for a little old hit.
The best times you're had
Have been with your Mom and your Dad
And a bat and a ball and a glove.
From the first time you played
Till the last time you prayed
It's been a simple matter of love

I love it.

However, I just have one little, teeny item I take issue with...

"You have a case of the "wearies"
And need a break from the game"

No sir. I have no idea what to do with myself the day after the World Series. Yes, I love football, I love hockey, I love basketball, I love soccer. I enjoy tennis, golf, and even arena football to some extent, but when it comes to baseball... there is nothing greater in this world. Nothing more perfect or pure than the concept of the bat, ball, and leather. Nothing could nor will ever replace how important and perfect the game of baseball is to me.

Agreed

Although I need a little break. But by Winter Meetings the first week of December, I am ready to go again!
