| It didn't look so good for the New York Yanks one day The score was 5-0, with just the 9th inning left to play. But to the fans' amazement Brosius really smacked the ball, It ended up bouncing right off the bright-blue right field wall. So Scott was safe at second, A leadoff double it sure was. And when Knoblauch's name was next announced, The Stadium started to buzz. On four straight pitches Chuck did walk And brought up Derek Jeter. He hit the ball right up the middle On an 0-2 heater. So now each base was loaded, and up came Paul O'neill Strike one strike two strike three! there were now some boos to hear. But Bernie drove on DEEP to center! It looked like it was out! But no! the outfielder caught it, And put the Yanks' comeback in doubt. Our last hope was David Justice, a Yankees who was quite new. He pulled a single to right field One run scored, then two! So now the Yanks were down by three, With Tino at the plate Every fan held their breath To see what was his fate. On no! Tino popped it up, An easy play to make. But wait- the second baseman dropped the ball! It was luck on Tino's sake. So the bases were loaded once again Jorge had the chance to be a hero. But alas, the count already had two strikes How many balls? There were zero. Jorge layed off a splitter low, And then a fastball high. The next pitch was a bit outside Fans screamed, "Jorge, good eye!" The pitcher HAD to throw a strike For there was no empty base. Jorge swung, Was that a look of triumph on his face? Yes it was, the ball went soaring! As the outfielders all ran back. But there was no use Jorge had given the ball quite a whack. The Yanks all ran out from their dugout Not a single soul stayed in, You ask why they did this? Jorge had given them the win. |
