A bump for hitter hydrophobia!

[Dan from Michigan]

In the words of John Fogerty

Well, beat the drum and hold the phone - the sun came out today!
We're born again, there's new grass on the field.
A-roundin' third, and headed for home, it's a brown-eyed handsome man;
Anyone can understand the way I feel.

CHORUS:
Oh, put me in, Coach - I'm ready to play today;
Put me in, Coach - I'm ready to play today;
Look at me, I can be Centerfield.

Well, I spent some time in the Mudville Nine, watchin' it from the bench;
You know I took some lumps when the Mighty Casey struck out.
So Say Hey Willie, tell Ty Cobb and Joe DiMaggio;
Don't say "it ain't so", you know the time is now.

Got a beat-up glove, a homemade bat, and brand-new pair of shoes;
You know I think it's time to give this game a ride.
Just to hit the ball and touch 'em all - a moment in the sun;
It's gone and you can tell that one goodbye!

I love the homerun hitters! Ken Griffey Jr., Jay Buehner, Edgar Martinez (especially Edgar!) Alex Rodriguez even the catcher Dan Wilson would get in on the Mariner's homerun act. Oh well, it's not the same team now..... but it was fun while it lasted even though it didn't do the pennant thang. Nothing like getting out the rye bread for a Mariner Grand Salami.

Most people think the buds opening and the smell of new grass means Spring, but you and I both know it's really the scent of the ol' horsehide that says Spring has finally sprung!!
