Some moments in baseball are so rare They make us gasp and stare Like when Johnny Vander Meer Threw two no-hitters in a row, oh dear Or when Kevin Kouzmanoff hit a slam On his first pitch in the big league, bam Or when Robby Thompson got caught stealing Four times in one game, what a feeling Or when Germany Schaefer stole first base Then second, then third, then back to second with grace Or when Fernando Tatis hit two grand slams In one inning off the same pitcher, whams These are some of the feats that have only happened once In the history of baseball, they make us feel like dunce But they also make us marvel at the beauty of the game And the players who achieved them, they deserve their fame
@@atlas9739 The First Pitch He came from humble beginnings A walk-on, a manager, a reject But he never gave up on his dream To play in the big leagues someday He worked his way up from the minors A bargain buy for the Red Sox But he proved his worth with his bat And earned a call-up in June He stepped up to the plate with confidence A rookie, a switch-hitter, a surprise But he didn't waste any time to shine He swung at the first pitch he saw He launched it over the right field fence A grand slam, a debut, a legend But he didn't stop there with his story He became a champion in 2013 He is Daniel Nava, and this is his poem A tribute, a salute, a thank you For hitting a grand slam on his first pitch In the major leagues in 2010
