"Mets Baseball Memories"

Ode To The 73 Mets

I remember it all,
from spring to fall,
the Mets big three pitchers were,
Seaver, Matlack and Koosman sir,
they could really pitch the ball,
while closing it out was Tug McGraw,
but thats not all, there was more,
such as the Say Hey kid whom fans adored,
but also there was Felix Millan,
who could field and hit and run,
and don't forget,
the important duet,
Cleon Jones and Rusty Staub,
to whom many wouldbe hits were robbed,
they could both field and hit,
and yes Harrelson could really use that mitt,
while John Milner was covering firstbase,
and Wayne Garret monitored that 3rd base place,
behind home plate was a solid catcher,
try and steal a base and Grote would getcha,
and manager Yogi Berra was smarter than,
the average Berra my dear friend,
okay okay I get your point,
my poetic talent is missing a joint,
but it was fun to reminisce,
about those long lost days I miss,
and I'll always be thankful for,
the memories the Met's gave me and more,
they gave me a childhood of baseball fun,
and to me the Mets will always be number one.
