Opening Day Ceremonies Red, white and blue bunting blowing Every uniform is bright, not one single grass stain White chalk is edging the infield Sponsor billboards round the outfield The announcer climbs up top to call the play by play Blue yells, "Play ball!" It's the crack of the bat The season is now underway The corners are hot with only one down Let's turn the 'ole double play Little League Baseball I'll take the Frito pie special And throw in a giant dill pickle And a suicide Coke, leave all the fizz and foam What's that? You say Conner got caught in a pickle run down? And the Colts tried a suicide squeeze? What in the world's going on out there? Wait, we're in first place all alone! Mama made sure that my jersey was clean Daddy left early from work No, Mr. Weatherman, it just can't rain Can't we rake in some more dirt? Little League Baseball C'mon, Son, keep your eye on that ball. Choke up on the bat He's got a really good, curve ball. Tell you what Why don't try steppin' up in the box a little bit? See if you can't catch it before it breaks Three up, three down. Alright, boys, alright, men, look alive, look alive No holes in this infield now, not today Let's hear a little chatter out there. Batter, batter, batter swing! I had to face Raymond Goosby Fast ball that sent chills right through me Beaned me on the first pitch, high and tight, he really rattled my grill Next time around I was iffy Coach called timeout said, "Son, listen to me." He said, "If you don't get back on that horse and ride again, right now, why, you never will." Well, I knew what he meant so I gripped that big stick Stepped up to the plate like a man Connected and whizzed one right past Raymond's ear I still hear the cheers in the stands Little League Baseball 1954, Peter J. McGovern Former president of Little League Baseball Wrote the pledge I trust in God I love my country And will respect its laws I will play fair And always strive to win But win or lose I will always do my best Under the lights on the big field My big brother with all of his best friends Rosen on the mound, donuts on the deck, statistics on the players Now that's real ball, you know! Play's at first, shade him left, hit the cut-off man Rock-n-fire Babe, 'round the horn, there's another K They're going all the way to state, maybe even Williamsport Stuart Kopesky, Darby Ford Harper, Munoz and Jeff Shilling Lanky Jamie Hi-ad and Coach Boz Skaggs Giants of our little game Oh the lessons I learned have served me well Work hard, do the best that you can Momentum is strange, things turn around Play fair, shake the other guy's hand Little League Baseball Well, did ya hear? Michael Eunich yanked one Uh-huh, he sure did. Right down the right field line Why that ball traveled so high, and so far, that it landed all the way down the hill in the minor league playing field! No joke! They had to stop the game Well, I'll tell you one thing If that Bob Crutchfield ever connects with a pitch, that ball's gonna' fly! It's gonna' sail right over the center field lights Yeah, Coach, I'll go to Dairy Queen with y'all, but I sho thot y'all said practice start at 12! Hey, c'mon everybody, now put another dollar bill in the bucket when it comes past your row. Remember, this goes to help our kids
