Everything I Have, I Owe

Say 'dodgers' And People Know You're Talking About Baseball. Say 'braves' And They Ask, 'what Reservation?' Say 'reds' And They Think Of Communism. Say 'padres' And They Look Around For A Priest.

People Say You Can't Go Out And Eat With Your Players. I Say Why Not.

If You'd See My Schedule, You'd Know I Have No Time To Slow Down.

There Are Parents Out There Screaming As If Their Kid Is Going To Be In The Big Leagues Someday. C'mon. I Chew Them Out If I See That. Maybe They've Got Their Own Idea How To Do Things, But It's Wrong. Just Be With The Kids. Let 'em Make Errors. Give Them All A Chance. It's Not About Winning. It's Spirit, Togetherness.

It's Still The Best Game In Town Because You Don't Have To Be Big To Play, And Everybody Plays. Even Your Grandmother Probably Played Baseball.
