Champions Of the World











A diamond shaped land of dirt and grass





Dark and mysterious





One land of dreams





Waiting to be discovered











Suddenly flooded by spotlights





then the familiar song plays





And the bulky man yells





on top of his lungs:





Play Ball!







As players trot out on the field





First batter ferociously swings his bat





The door to dreams coming true





Has opened wide







Nine innings





twenty seven chances





Two teams fight for the chance





to fulfill their dreams











One hundred sixty two games
Eight out of thirty advance

Only one thing on their minds
Is the series of seven

To prove that they are






Champions of the world
