People screw up
I don’t trust them

People mess up
I don’t trust them

People make mistakes
I don’t trust them

Which is why team sports
Aren’t my thing

If I screw up
And I pay for it
Then it’s my fault

But if they screw up
And I pay for it
Then it’s their fault

But baseball
I love baseball

Because out in the field it doesn’t matter

In that cage
With that bat
Just you and the ball
With all those eyes on you

It doesn’t matter
No one else matters
It all comes down to you

Which is why I love baseball
Because
Right there
Right then
Nothing else matters

Right?

But here’s the thing
Even in baseball
Even with that bat
And that ball
In that cage
With all those eyes on you

…
Someone has to pitch the ball.
