Last Out

The bats are all put away
The gloves go back in the closet
The sunny Sundays will soon fade
And another season has set

Out there for 21 games
Couldn't quite make it to 22
The bats so strong went silent
The runs, once so many, were few

There will be head-scratching
And over analyzing
And the usual cries of next year
Inside the Nest, Matchless, and other houses of stale beer

But I only come out for fun
To run down the first base line
To slide into second
To catch a sinking liner, to score a run

Winning is great, don't get me wrong
And losing sucks
That said, I'd rather play and lose
Then sit at home all Sunday long
