When Campy Campaneris played all nine positions in a game

When Pete Rose demolished Ray Fosse, he was never the same

31 wins and an album on Capitol for Denny McLain

So long ago, so long, pastime, are you past your prime?

The DiMaggios, Shoeless Joe, Minnie Minoso, Yo La Tengo

Luis Aparicio and Nellie Fox made the Sox go-go

The sideburns of Pepitone and Oscar Gamble's afro

So long ago, so long, pastime, are you past your prime?

One thing you can say about time

Is that it always passes

One thing you can say about the game

Is that it's not getting any faster

You can get tangled up in a ball of rubber bands and twine

The cowhide and pine tar, snuff, spit, and chalk-dust lines

Two round-trippers and a no-hitter, that's Rick Wise, not Bobby Wine

So long ago, so long, pastime, are you past your prime?
