Barry Bonds Tribute
BARRY BONDS
NOW THERE'S A NAME
THAT SHOULD RESIDE
IN THE HALL OF FAME
AS A ROOKIE
HE SHOWED SOME STRENGTH
HIT HOME RUNS
WITH INCREDIBLE LENGTH
WHEN I FIST SAW HIM
I THOUGHT OF JACKSON
THE WAY HE SWUNG
HIS BAT IN ACTION
BARRY COULD RUN
HE COULD THROW THE BALL
MADE GREAT CATCHES
ON THE LEFT FIELD WALL
AT STEALING BASES
HE WAS A THREAT
SCORING UNEARNED RUNS
PUT TEAMS IN DEBT
PITCH TO HIM ?
WHY WOULD YOU ?
YOU GET THE FEELING
A HOMERUN'S DUE
BEAUTIFUL SAN FRANCISCO
AS FAR AS BALLPARKS GO
IS THE BEST OF ALL THE BALLPARKS
TO DISPLAY A HOME RUN SHOW
RIGHT FIELD HAS SPLASH LANDING
AND IF YOU TOP THE WALL
BARRY LAUNCHED SOME HOMERUNS
AND IN THE BAY THEY FALL
AT NIGHT THEY HAVE THE LIGHTS ON
AND WHAT A TERRIFIC SIGHT
TO SEE A BASEBALL LAUNCHED LIKE THAT
IS POETRY IN FLIGHT
IN A WAY BARRY BONDS
SIMPLY MADE IT CLEAR
BYE BYE BASEBALL
YOU'RE CLEARLY OUT OF HERE
