America’s Pastime

The dirt on the field,

The fans in the stands,

The beautiful stadium

And thrill of opening day

Paint a vivid picture as to why

This game is America’s beloved pastime.



It’s a spectacle for father and son

But beloved by everyone

You can love this game

But it will not always love you back.



In a game where size does not matter

Where the pitcher stands 90 feet from the batter

It is one against nine in battle won only in the mind.
