One must love the game to understand the feeling. Good afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen Boys and Girls. The Los Angeles Dodgers and the Houston Astros Welcome you the MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL'S 2017 WORLD SERIES. LET'S PLAY BALL!
I woke up this morning, 
Believe me, I was ready to play.
For those of you 
Who are unaware 
Today's a gargantuan day.
Electrifying excitement 
Alive and in the air. 
There's nothing else quite like it
For anyone to compare.
Pine tar, rosin fragrance 
And that of fresh cut grass.
The end of the baseball season 
Has now come to pass. 
Magnificent sound when a baseball 
Contact’s a baseball bat.
Completing a walk-off homer
With a doffing of the cap.
The AL meets the NL
In world serious matter.
The loser goes home all alone
Disgraced and completely shattered.
Don't think for a moment 
It was all fun and games.
It was a tough and very long season. 
Even heartbreaking pain.
There was plenty of travel 
Cold and heat.
Upset victories and
Humiliating defeat. 
Baserunning blunders
Pitches gone wild.
Tears of joy
While others cried like a child.
Playing for a championship 
Is tougher than seems.
Now it has come this
Living a baseball dream.
There were 30 teams that started
Now there are only 2 teams left.
Now we're going to crown the one
Who proves to be the best. 
God bless America 
Home of the brave and free.
Many gave up everything
For this game..you..and me.
Stand up and remember 
Those who have departed.
It's the best of seven series 
So let's get this party started. 
Let's play ball!
