Jon is my name,
Baseball is my game.
I play baseball day and night,
When I’m at bat, I use all my might.

Crack, the ball goes flying in the air,
Try to catch it if you dare.
Running the bases one by one,
Hope our team gets it done.

We go to tourneys and win them all,
Everyone on my team has a ball.
We are really fantastic,
I’m sometimes too enthusiastic.

I hit the ball whack, whack, whack,
It’s not that hard to take a hack.
Playing first base is what I do,
You should try it, too.

My favorite line is “Running the bases one by one”, because baseball is a game in which any man has to take each base, each hit, and each catch one at a time.
