We had a very good game and our team won
Some people throw left-handed
And others from the right,
But it doesn't really matter
When the ball is up in flight.
What really is important
Is the batter's ready stance
So he can swing and strike the ball
With just a lightning glance.
Yeeouw! Don't hit so hard!
To hit the ball a mighty crack
Is every batter's aim,
And keep it far from catching hands
If you're to win the game
The other side will always try
To stop the flying ball.
For the quick and lively player
It is not hard at all.
But he must run and he must jump
And never drop a catch
If his strong team of players
Is going to win the match.
Now Grandpa plays a lively game,
And sometimes hits the ball,
But when he has to run for base
He's not too quick at all.
So fielders often run him out,
Which makes him rather saddy.
He would like to play a better game
And do as well as Daddy
The trouble with our Grandpa is
His big fat wobbly tummy
Which stops him running quickly
(Only half the speed of Mummy).
She really is the best of players;
Catching, running, throwing,
Batting too, tremendous!
And she's fairly good at sewing.
I am ready
To find out how it should be done
And watch the expert play
You must come to Brother's Baseball Camp
Just drop in, any day.
Then you will see our Matthew,
With smile upon his face,
Strongly batting every ball
And running to First Base.
