Chooch
Even though none of the pitchers hablan espanol,
you have to keep the game under control.
Curve, slider, sinker, you’re the one to make the call.
Most of the time, you want a good old fastball.
It takes a strong and smart catcher without a doubt.
You work to get each and every opposing batter out.
This is the one hundred and sixty-two game world that’s real.
Sometimes, that runner on first may be tempted to steal.
There he goes on his way to second base.
You throw a laser over there without haste.
The runner is out as the tag is made.
These are some of the things you do to get paid.
If you keep on doing your job, you are here to stay.
Hopefully, your team will win the game today.
