This time of year,
When I was a kid,
My grades would suffer
I used to know
Who played third for the Angels
His batting average
And uniform number
It was still Bob Uecker
It was Rockin' Robin
And Molitor, Yount, and Higuera
Creaky County Stadium and another era
It's Miller Park now
Roof open or closed
Tension in the bottom of the eighth
The fans are frozen
In place as the pitcher winds
High drama, especially in October
Is not hard to find
It's candy to candy,
Easter to Halloween
It's opening day to the World Series
And the journey in between.
