For The Love Of The Game

Lyrics by Hal Pollock

The crack of the bat
The roar of the crowd
The Star Spangled Banner Singing aloud
Hot dogs and popcorn
Baseball and beer
We’re back once again
Time to stand up and cheer

For the love of the game
We give it our all
Those glorious days
Of the summer and fall
When heroes are born
And legends stand tall
All for the love of the game

It’s time to play ball
We’ve been waiting all year
Beloved boys of summer
Are finally here
Three strikes you’re out
On the field of dreams
If you hit it too hard
Comes apart at the seams

Slide into second
Dive into third
Touching home plate
As the word “safe” is heard
A thunderous crash
The flight of the ball
Remembering when
You could once do it all

For the love of the game
We give it our all
Heroes and legends
A little white ball
Year after year
You’ll find us here
All for the love of the game
