Jan 10

“Take us out to the ballgame!”

“Take us out to the ballgame!”

We girls proudly proclaim;

Showing the world what we’ve got

Is our ultimate aim.

We all share this utmost dream

And take it to the most extreme.

Don’t ever let it lie dormant

However far it might seem.

Challenges, setbacks unforeseeable,

In a rough journey full of obstacles;

With our commitment to persevere,

There’s no goal unattainable.

“Baseball is for boys,” you say,

How invalid’s this cliche?

Touched with baseball genes, we are

Born to pitch and hit and play.

We would like to manifest

That we all strive to try our best:

To flee out of town, and touch the world,

Like lil’ white balls hit out of the fence

The wind up and the pitch hits the mark,

But it’s nothing like the graceful arc

Swung by the bat, the sweetspot

Where good ole ball met, with a spark.

Hurtling through the ballpark air

Goes the leather covered sphere

Roars of tension from the stands

Pumps up in the atmosphere

Like our team, the ball swiftly flies

In the focus of a million eyes

Going…

Going…

Gone!

Touch’em all and say GOODBYE!
