PLAY BALL!!!! (Not Safe for Dial-Up)
Well, beat the drum and hold the phone - the sun came out today
We're born again, there's new grass on the field
Roundin' third, and headed for home, it's a brown-eyed handsome man
Anyone can understand the way I feel

Oh, put me in, coach - I'm ready to play today
Put me in, coach - I'm ready to play today
Look at me, I can be center field

Well, I spent some time in the Mudville Nine, watchin' it from the bench
You know I took some lumps when the Mighty Case struck out
So Say Hey Willie, tell Ty Cobb and Joe DiMaggio
Don't say it ain't so, you know the time is now

Oh, put me in, coach - I'm ready to play today
Put me in, coach - I'm ready to play today
Look at me, I can be center field

Yeah! I got it, I got it

Got a beat-up glove, a homemade bat, and brand-new pair of shoes
You know I think it's time to give this game a ride
Just to hit the ball and touch 'em all - a moment in the sun
It's gone and you can tell that one goodbye

Oh, put me in, coach - I'm ready to play today
Put me in, coach - I'm ready to play today
Look at me, I can be center field

Oh, put me in, coach - I'm ready to play today
Put me in, coach - I'm ready to play today
Look at me, I can be center field

1. Go Brewers! God's baseball team, from God's state!
Is that last guy John Cleese?

2. It's legendary Brewer pitcher Rollie Fingers!
Come on! The moustache should be a dead givaway!

IIRC, He grew the moustache to earn a $500 bonus from the first team who signed him.

4. Being an A's fan I'll always consider Rollie to be an A
and besides he spent over half of his career with the A's

5. Well, how am I supposed to know who any of these people are?
And besides, he DOES look like Cleese. You have to admit it!
