pitcher takes the mound
count is oh and two
ballplayers field
keep their eyes peeled
in case the ball should roll about
ballplayers field with leather

fielding ain't easy with glove closed
or when just standing languidly
you gotta crouch, you know
in touch with the game, no doubt
or balls get battered off your knee

home team's back in town
slump, they're going through
ballplayers field
mitts for a shield
sometimes the game becomes a rout
ballplayers field with leather

no strikes, he slings...he's wild, you see
i mean they're always high or low
the batter takes it slow
digs in...as the ball takes flight
but will not swing at pitches, bad

balls are tightly wound
sometimes teams are too
ballplayers field
multi-year deals
if spheroids they routinely clout
ballplayers field with leather

all-stars at some times, happily
but you know some never make those teams
when striving for your dreams
sometimes it can all go wrong
it must be bad for self esteem

baseball bats can pound
and they often do
ballplayers field
nerves are concealed
your goal is just to get them out

ballplayers field with leather
ballplayers field with leather
ballplayers field with leather
