Baseball Is Like a Religion To Me

Baseball is like a religion to me
Those long ago years still linger on
The Montreal Royals
The years of Jackie Robinson 
At Delorimier Stadium
In the east end Montreal
My dad and me out in the bleachers
Watching Jackie Robinson
Perform his magic
Running the bases like the wind
Hitting like a league leader
The magic of baseball

Tom Cunningham July 14, 2022 at 1:57 PM Happy memories Jack, the years seem to speed up as you get older. Tom Jack Ellison July 14, 2022 at 2:31 PM Ah that's why... you is such a smart feller! Tom Cunningham July 14, 2022 at 2:19 PM It's because we're having such a blast we forget to look at the clock. Jack Ellison July 14, 2022 at 2:07 PM Why does that happen, any ideas??? Have a happy (plus 5) day!
