Description
based on a local minor league and HS baseball fan, Homer Crafford who actually said "Be addressive", instead of be aggressive...(back then when there was a double-header the teams only played 7 innings each...for you historians)
Lyrics
HOMER He sat way down near the field at minor league games Kept on talking when it went to extra frames Seemed to be real Double "A" by the way he talked But everyone loved him 'cause he walked the walk Watch that curve! Swing the bat! Be addressive! And tip your cap when you hit a homer He sat thru all 14 innings of double-header games And didn't seem to know any of the players names He just kept jawin' and sounded real lame But all the fans loved him; he was harmless just the same An occasional hot dog and a cherry coke Was all he ever ate 'cause he didn't have much dough He lived for the game because he never played And for his box seats I don't think he ever paid...a stinkin' dime
