I Would Rather Beat The Yankees Regularly

You Figure They Cheat At The Ballpark, They'll Cheat On The Golf Course, They'll Cheat In Business, And Anything Else In Life. Players May Laugh About It And Say It's Funny, But Right Down In Their Heart, They Don't Think It's Funny At All, And They Have No Respect For A Person Who Cheats.

When I Pick Up The Ball And It Feels Nice And Light And Small I Know I'm Going To Have A Good Day. But If I Picked It Up And It's Big And Heavy, I Know I'm Liable To Get Into A Little Trouble.

When You Make A Bad Pitch And The Hitter Puts It Out Of The Park And You Cost Your Team The Game, It's A Real Test Of Your Maturity To Be Able To Stand In Front Of Your Locker Fifteen Minutes Later And Admit It To The World. How Many People In Other Professions Would Be Willing To Have Their Job Performances Evaluated That Way, In Front Of Millions, Every Afternoon At Five O'clock.

As Much As We Disliked The Yankees, Fans And Players Alike, They Were Good For Baseball. They Consistently Unsuccessful Teams Like The Browns, Senators, And A's Paid A Lot Of Their Bills With Those Big Crowds That Poured Through The Gates When The Yankees Came To Town.

Ted Williams Was The Greatest Hitter I Ever Saw, But Dimaggio Was The Greatest All Around Player.
