A Baseball Fan's Pipe Dream
It is rare when a woman is interested in a ball game.
However, your excuse for going is pretty lame.
There is not a single fact of baseball you know.
You could not tell Babe Ruth from Joe DiMaggio.
And that fact unfortunately is just the beginning.
Each part of the game is not a “quarter”, but an “inning”.
Chalk this one up as another hair brained scheme.
The goal you wish to attain is a pipe dream.
That is a concrete fact nobody can deny.
You wear expensive clothes hoping to catch their eye.
Many women would like to be a ball player’s honey.
After all, they do make an awful lot of money.
Here is something I have to point out that is true.
Not one of these players will be interested in you.
