Leave it to Bill Veeck to finally fidget
To get attendance to reach double digit
Fireworks, “Ladies’ Day”
An organist and half-price pay
And to bat he would send up a midget

Bennett Oberfeld has been a die-hard baseball fan for over 30 years, rooting for home town teams starting with the Orioles, to the Cubs, now for the Braves. He has been to 24 of the 30 existing ball parks, but refuses to see a game in Montreal Olympic Stadium or the Metrodome.

Remember that outfield that was supposed to be awesome
With Valentine, Cromartie and Dawson?
Cromartie went Japanese
Dawson wore out his knees
And Valentine broke a few hearts so they tossed ‘em

In Philly their fans would boo Jesus
Asking “What’s he done lately to please us?”
“We’ve heard all the loud raves
Of how Jesus saves
So did he blow that late lead to appease us?”

When you ask Mr. Cub Ernie Banks
“How could you play with inferior ranks?”
What with two MVP’s
Five hundred homers to please?
He just said “Let’s play two” and gave thanks

The Reds bullpen was full of high fliers
Led by the top flake, lefty Randy Myers
He teamed up with Ron Dibble
For more psyches than Sybil
Plus Norm Charlton, the king of live wires
