Waiting For the Season To Start

In the depths of a New York winter 
I am waiting for the baseball  season to start 
My old man was a New York Giants fan 
Even though he lived in Brooklyn
The Mets didn't exactly do well last year 
But the cry "Wait till Next Year"
Rang out!!
With Al Jackson, Ron Hunt, Casey Stengel and the great Tom Seaver
The Mets battled on through the years
Hope to make it to some games next season 
Only went to one by myself last year 
Met a babe from San Diego 
And told someone 
"Maybe I'll go see a lacrosse game next
He said "I didn't hear that"
Let's go Mets!!

Sounds like so much fun awaits! Now I've never been to a Lacrosse game but, I would imagine it wouldn't be popular among true Mets fans. I like baseball too; if I ever get to NY I must go. A very pleasant read; I can feel the anticipation welling up inside of your chest now. Go Mets!
