Some years need to go away,
Live in yesterday; they were never good.
‘26 will be one of these: let it go? We should.
But today in this breakdown,
There is pleasantry in mind:
They won over New York, you will find.
Two hits in the starting frame
Set the tone of game, gave an early lead.
Then a dinger from Kreidler
Off of a pitch he teed.
Zebby’s arm kept ‘em guessing,
Fuddled the batter’s mind;
Won over New York, though, you’ll find.
It’s never easy when they come to play,
Needed strikes, but then, yikes! Volpe tied the score.
Though we needed just a little thing to go our way,
Tonight, you’ll read we got one more.
So now we wrap up barely taking it;
Caratini hit, Keaschall scored with no slide.
Who could care if they’re falling out? Keep it starry-eyed.
Nearly done with the season, the autumn to unwind;
Won over New York, you will find.
(take a minute or so to breathe in the win while listening to the saxophone and piano solo)
So now we wrap it up with a victory,
And the C.O.G. goes to donuts and Goose.
Ten more games ‘til they call it out; let’s just keep it loose.
Just a week ‘til the season must be left behind;
Won over New York, you will find.
So let’s wrap up the breakdown,
Keeping what’s ahead in mind:
They won it—
Won over New York—
(…how many saxophone players does New York have?)
—you will find,
Yeah!!!
