THE LEGEND OF BIG BAD BILL…
Once upon a time in a far away land…
Stood on the mound a pitcher named Big Bad Bill…
Batters trembled with that horsehide in his hand…
They stood no chance when he zipped in that pill…
On the scoreboard the 0-2 count all would see…
They knew the next pitch would be high and tight…
Followed by a speedball on the corner at the knees…
As the overmatched batter stood in petrified fright…
The righthander had charisma on that hill…
Oh how he could make that ball spin…
Crowds would flock to see Big Bad Bill…
For they knew his team would always win…
But these days batters are a little more bold…
The batsmen wish they could face him one last time…
For the legendary hurler is getting quite old…
They shake their heads in disbelief cause Bill, Big Bad Bill, is 49!
(Happy Birthday to a great teammate, Bill Thornton. The legend lives on...
Also Happy Birthday to Jim Bouton. The former knuckleballer and a summer league baseball teammate, briefly, is 72!)
