There's a hundred years of history And a hundred years before that All gathered in the thinking Going on beneath his ball cap. The cold flame burns within him Til' his skins as cold as ice And the dues he paid to get her Are worth every sacrifice. All the miles spent sleepy drivin All the money down the drain All the if's and nearly's All the bandages and Pain. All the female tears left dryin' All the fever and the fight Are just a small down payment On the drive he makes tonight. It's guts and love and glory One mortals chance at fame His legacy is softball And White, Vestbie, Stevens, Williamson, Surina, Booth, Roberts, Millsap, Snow, Bitto, Backlund, Eidson, Kyler, Bell, Stanley, Enard, Follett, Boman, Comphel, Wadsworth, Sumpter is his name
