[Dave Niehaus announcing:] And swung, Lined down the left field line for a base hit! Here comes Joey! Here comes Junior to third base! They're gonna wave him in! the throw to the plate will be late! F The Mariners are going to play for the American League Championship! C I don't believe it! It just continues! MY OH MY! C Laces woven barley holdin' that stitch The creases are time amongst the grime and the grit Where the leather he used to pound his fists To some it's just a mitt, but see that glove was him C Yep, tell me stories on the field with that sun stained brim C Blood under my chin, he taught me how to spit C C Sunflower seeds back when me and my crew sun burnt arms F Big league chew, yeah we were like the sand lot after dinner F After practice we listen to the M's in the kitchen C And if mom wasn't trippin' come on dad please I swear just one more inning C Em G Voice went pump pump through the system break out the Rye bread it's grand salami time C G Am My oh My another victory yes, my city my city.
