Baseball For Boys
Title
Baseball For Boys
Description
V1
In nineteen thirty nine a man with vision in a town called Williamsport V. A.
Created from the grand old game of baseball,
The little league that carries on today
V2
When Carl Stotz played baseball as a youngster,
Older boys said, “you’re too small to play!”
So he designed a diamond that was smaller,
Where Little Leaguers hit home runs today
Chorus
Baseball for boys of the nation
Building men who are loyal and brave,
Men to uphold the traditions of old,
Where red, white, and blue proudly waves,
Baseball for boys of the nation
Gives boys a chance to play
From Little League diamonds come leaders of the U.S.A.
