Don Zimmer

Crying because he was knocked down not the athlete he once was the onrush of the years has changed this old warrior He charged out of the dugout was knocked down to the cold earth Crying for the shame of it Crying for baseball Crrying for himself Don - you've been fighting for a long time you needn't feel shame Just show the young players and young fans how a baseball veteran should conduct himself win or lose It's the game that matters - the game of baseball
