I Thank Heaven We Have Had Baseball

I Thank Heaven We Have Had Baseball In This World... The Kids... Our National Pastime.

If It Wasn't For Baseball, I'd Be In Either The Penitentiary Or The Cemetery. I Have The Same Violent Temper My Father And Older Brother Had. Both Died Of Injuries From Street Fights In Baltimore, Fights Begun By Flare-ups Of Their Tempers.

I Said I'm Going To Hit The Next One Right Over The Flagpole. God Must Have Been With Me.

I Hear The Cheers When They Roared And The Jeers When They Echoed.

I Didn't Mean To Hit The Umpire With The Dirt, But I Did Mean To Hit That Bastard In The Stands.
