27 PITCHERS GETTIN 1 OUT EACH
I ran into Dave Roberts
The Dodgers manager
He had a faraway look in his eyes
I tell ya sir
He said I’m lookin forward to my winter
On the beach
Dreamin of 27 pitchers getting 1 out each
27 pitchers getting 1 out each
The game has great traditions and a long history
Stretchin all the way back to the 19th century
The Big Train, The Bambino and The Georgia Peach
But now it’s 27 pitchers getting 1 out each
27 pitchers getting 1 out each
The pitchers mound it used to be an all-day chore
But now it’s lookin more like a revolving door
Sandy Koufax used to throw all nine or more
That kind of ball has gone out with the dinosaur
I said but Dave, stickin with your starter ain’t it cooler
Specially when you got those guys like Scherzer and Bueller
He crossed himself and davened and said “Here’s what I Preach”
27 pitchers getting 1 out each
27 pitchers getting 1 out each
