The crack of the bat
the roar of the crowd
peanuts and popcorn
vendors shouting out loud
and then there is John
a loyal Yankees fan
He's also a writer
And a great family man

Baseball he knows
and knows it quite well
Each season he writes
some great story he'll tell
About Yankees and Cardinals
Spring training and more
Who will win
the World Series this year,
'Yankees for sure.'

But John, that can't happen
What then would we do
The Cards can't give
the World Series to you
Let's meet at the stadium
As the first ball is pitched out
cheer, have a root-beer
that's what baseball's all about
Win or lose, it's a wonderful game
And, John, if I had my way
it's you... who would be
in Fanstorian Friendship's
great 'Hall of Fame'
