(to tune of Michael Row the Boat ashore)
River Jordan is deep and wide...alleluia.
Bring your dirty SOCKS and a box of Tide...alleluia!
The greatest baseball player you never heard of.
RIP Dom.
My father was a big fan of the Yankees and of Joe D. Despite that, he also had a soft spot for Dom, and once recited a poem to me that was popular at the time about him. I hadn’t thought about it since, but was able to find it on the Internet:
Who hits the ball and makes it go?
Dom-inic Di-Mag-gio.
Who runs the bases fast, not slow?
Dom-inic Di-Mag-gio.
Who can run and bat and throw?
Dom-inic Di-Mag-gio.
Who hits the ball both high and low?
Dom-inic Di-Mag-gio.
Who’s better than his brother Joe?
Dom-inic Di-Magg-gio.
Sad news.
RIP “Little Professor”.
Any relation to Joe?
