There was this guy, was a big baseball player back in the fifties He could run and hit that ball right by you The other team'd look like fools, boy Saw him the other night in the starting lineup I was walking in, he was there at first Leading off for the Mets, against his old club But all I kept thinkin' about was Willie Mays, well time's passed you by Willie Mays, but sure glad to see ya back in N-Y Willie Mays, Willie Mays Well there was this lady, she owned the Mets Back in '72 she turned a lot of the fan's heads When one fateful day in mid-May She brought Willie over in a trade Well, he and the Giants, they split up After twenty years gone by Made those fans start thinkin about the old times When the Polo Grounds were still in use And in centerfield was Willie Mays, well time's passed you by Willie Mays, but I'm glad to see ya back in N-Y Willie Mays, Willie Mays Well, I think he was brought back to remind everyone Of what once was great and could be Even promised him that his number would be retired But then came Kelvin Torve Yeah, looking back, he was trying to recapture A little of the glory of what he once had Well time slips away and leaves you with nothing mister but Glorious stories of Willie Mays, well time passed him by Willie Mays, but he got to hang it up in N-Y Willie Mays, Willie Mays --- Youtube: [url]http://youtube.com/watch?v=oOpIfbneeHg[/url]

Here's hoping folks remember Willie (and Mickey Mantle) being suspended by Bowie Kuhn for consorting with gamblin' types. CASINO GREETER Oh, he would run the bases round When he ruled the Polo Grounds At Candlestick Park Willie could be king But by the time he’s at Shea His knees crack and he’s gone gray His back it gives out everytime he swings. Give up, Willie Mays You’ve seen better days Be a casino greeter And give Barry Bonds praise. You once thought of Mets As a team to pad your stats Then you wore the orange and the blue Oh, and you finish up your days In the Series ‘gainst the A’s But by then Willie you were really through. Met Man Willie Mays Homered his first day As a casino greeter He’d shake hands for his pay. “Say Hey” Willie Mays Yes, you coined that phrase Then a casino greeter Who gets autograph pay. Cheer up, Willie Mays We don’t think of you that way As a casino greeter Who gives Barry Bonds praise (repeat and fade) http://youtube.com/watch?v=dRr-sNlddRo

Wow! Yet another superlative matchup. Good job gentlemen!

Valadius Feb 01 2008 08:00 AM

Damn, this is going to be one tough decision. Good job to both of you.

Nice job guys.

HahnSolo Feb 01 2008 08:51 AM

Both of you, bringin it. Excellent jobs.

A Boy Named Seo Feb 01 2008 09:04 AM

Both great. I voted for G on degree of difficulty, faithfulness to the original, and using broken down Willie Mays at first base. Also that Joan Payson verse in the middle was great. Awesome work, guys.

I voted, and I'll wear my button proudly. Later

sharpie Feb 02 2008 07:23 AM

At the 24-hour mark it looks like I pull out a 12-11 win. Yeesh. Good one, gwreck.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Feb 02 2008 10:26 AM

Nice job, both. I thought assigning a common topic would make the voting easier but in most cases so far it hasn't.

sharpie Feb 02 2008 12:17 PM

Yeah, I think these have been closer than in previous years. I jumped out to a big lead and saw it nearly dissipate after Seo's comments. I logged on this morning sure that I would have lost. Also, this can be unstickied.

A Boy Named Seo Feb 02 2008 01:10 PM

Sorry, man. I put $40 on Gwreck at the Tropicana last week.

Gwreck Feb 02 2008 01:47 PM

Congrats Sharpie.
