I Walk The Mendoza Line
Dear Mr. Nicholas Paul Punto,
Not being able to score a hit on the field, PAB has a suggestion for you, free of charge: Cover Johnny Cash. Perhaps you'll score a hit on the radio! Here, we've even taken the liberty of adapting some lyrics for you:
I keep a close watch on this batting average of mine,
I keep my stance wide open all the time,
I've made inning ending outs of every kind,
Instead of riding the pine, I walk the Mendoza line.
As sure as night is dark and day is light,
I weakly pop out to the catcher both day and night,
Though I stink as much as potato blight,
Instead of riding the pine, I walk the Mendoza line.
You've got a way to keep Cleveland in sight,
Bench me in favor of a house plant, I don't mind,
Who knows, that might even turn the tide,
Instead of riding the pine, I walk the Mendoza line.
There you go! Feel free to send a copy to Tony Fatista if Johnny Cash isn't your thing.
WV wishes he were the man in black.
