The Jack Heidemann Parody Project

OK,. See, I had such CAHNfidence I'd win the contest that two rounds before I was gunning to win Jack Heidemann so as to write a parody about him. I even got upset when you guys were riffing on themes. I had a germ of an idea (below). But I didn't win him, and as things turned out, I never got past the first line anyway.

So I figured we as a forum can complete my unfinished work.

I'll start. You guys fill in, one line at a time, till we're done and see how it works out.

THE BALLAD OF JACK HEIDEMANN

Not just anyone could ride in that car.

.......I could be wrong tho.

It's what I get for forgetting that Heidemann was a position player (and not checking the link that Dickshot graciously provided).
