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
