The Best Game To Live
Baseball season is here, The grass is green as it had a new season’s smell
The white chalk along the foul line was as white as paper
The fans yelling and screaming as I hear my mom even louder
The smell of the snack bar as they made pretzels and hotdogs
The chanting of the opposing team cheering for their player up
Baseball season is here, the umpire yelling “strike!”
The mound is perfectly shaped like a dome
The home plate lines up exactly straight to the mound
The batter's boxes were like arenas for a batter
The long stares between the pitcher and batter
Baseball season is here, the long night games that made you feel like a Big Leaguer
The taste of Big League chew as you wind up on the mound
The eye black smeared like a warrior as you glance at your opponents
The celebration when the worst hitter gets a hit
The pressure on your shoulders like a monkey when your family’s there
Baseball season is here, the only thing you cared about is winning
The coach giving you the signs to a hit and run
The clutch moments that won you MVP
The look of shock when you hit a home run
The reason you run home from school to get ready for
Baseball season is here, the mom's gossip you hear when you’re up to bat
The arguments wether the pitcher threw a strike or not
The worrying moment when your coach visits you on the mound
The extra innings that keep you there late like a punishment
The younger kids so eager to play they throw their own games
Baseball season is here, the high fives and good games that put a smile on your face
The snowcones after a game that left you with a colored mustache
The long talks with the coach on how to improve
The walk back to the car you have envisions being the next big thing
The dreams you have that night about striking your friend out
Baseball season is here, waiting for the playoffs like someone in a rush for work
The moment you get a call from your grandma saying how she heard you did well
The moment you get a trophy and hold it for the world to see
The thanks you give for being a part of the team
The love of the game may never be broken and will always stick
