When Baseball was just a game
Before all the bullshit
The greatest game ever played
Three bases and home plate
A wooden bat and a fair baseball
When juice was just orange and served at breakfast instead of the clean up hitter in a bathroom stall or gym
When it was just real Hot Dogs with that brown mustard served in those packages that were hard to open
When ice cold beer was served to your seat as the vendor went up and down the isles with his beer bottles clinking along side of him
The smell of hot roasted peanuts as you entered the park
and the man who yelled program....get your game program here
When Kale was just another fucking vegetable no one cared about
When a man could stand up and yell...You fucking blind ump...without the PC Police coming down on him
When pitchers threw inside and took what was theirs
When warnings were reserved for batters who dug in too deep
When wearing a suit of armor would be laughed at and not allowed
When men took a brush back or a beaning like a man and if he had the guts charge the mound and fight
When umpires stood in the background and did their job without trying to be part of the game
To be able to stand up and cheer without some jackass who is too lazy or stupid to stand tell you to sit down
When a clown was only seen at a circus and not rounding the bases trying to big time a pitcher
When arguments were part of the game and managers had a personality expressing themselves
When playoff money meant a man might not have to take a second job in the off season.
The real hunger to win and not comparing portfolios at the batting cage ...slapping backs with the enemy
When rookies kept their mouths shut and listened to vets and coaches who have been there before and had done it all
Sunday Doubleheaders when families could spend the day together and get a 2-1....it was so much fun
Just to be able to go to a game without having credit card companies try and get my info for a free fucking towel
Having my back pack checked and walking through metal detectors because of some jackass coward hijackers on 9/11
Even though I complain I still love the game
I just prefer
When Baseball was just a game
Dedicated to the die hard fans who remember the game when it was just a game. The greatest game of them all.
