Those Lucky Boys of Summer

'Round here it's winter, cold as hell Down there the chosen, a few lucky boys answer the call of the Opening Bell ~ Spring Training in Arizona They jog out to the field for the first time That feeling of renewal, mighty fine limber up with stretches and beer ~ Spring Training in Arizona Back in the Heartland, north winds blow frozen fingers, shoveling snow as They job along and toss the pea ~ Those Lucky Boys of Summer One by one they step to the plate their first few swings like rusty gates Then the base hits, line drives, begin banged out by boys -- now men, with gap-toothed smiles and devilish grins ~ Those Lucky Boys of Summer February 15, 2019 Pitchers and Catchers reported to Spring Training this week!
