Ayala From Puerto Rico
Ayala, Ayala, such a lovely fella
Oh Benny, Oh Benny, your plate apps. weren’t many
Came from Puerto Rico, nickname could’ve been ‘Chico’
Late Summer Seventy Four
That’s when The Mets opened up the door,
And you stepped up to the plate with a bat in your hands.
‘Who’s Ayala?’ asked the fans.
An ordinary looking man
Bright eyed & tanned,
We loved you then though your career turned out bland
‘Cause you were going to score.
Ayala, Ayala, such a lovely fella
Oh Benny, Oh Benny, your ribbys weren’t many
Not mu-y mag-nifi-cent-e, a fan of Tito Puente
Oooh and then you hit the pitch from the lefty.
It went so far
and then it cleared the wall
First at-bat, first homerun,
did you get to keep the ball?
At Shea, that day, you got your shot to play.
One more season in Queens
Then the Cards were your second team,
Finally the Orioles answered your postseason dream
Seventy Nine you lost
To the Fam-a-lee
It just was not to be
But then in ‘83 you beat the Phi-i-i-llies
Ayala, Ayala, such a lovely fella
Oh Benny, Oh Benny, your games played weren’t many
Played for four different teams, ate lots of rice and beans.
Oooh and then you hit the pitch from the lefty.
It went so far
and then it cleared the wall
First at-bat, first homerun,
did you get to keep the ball?
Hailed from Puerto Rico, your stats were kind of bleak-o.
Not many people knew
After such a great debut
That you would have
The final numbers of a Mr. Magoo
You came from Puerto Rico
Ayala, Ayala, such a lovely fella
Oh Benny, Oh Benny, played with both Tippy & Denny
Up and down each year, you rarely heard the cheers.
Oooh and then you hit the pitch from the lefty.
It went so far
and then it cleared the wall
First at-bat, first homerun,
did you get to keep the ball?
Ayala, Ayala, such a lovely fella
Oh Benny, Oh Benny, your bench time was aplenty
First in thirteen years to do it but then you sorta blew it.
Oooh and then you hit the pitch from the lefty
It went so far
and then it cleared the wall
First at-bat, first homerun,
did you get to keep the ball?

(Oh) Wally Backman
Wally Backman, dwarf pyscho Met
Wally Backman, puffin’ cigarettes
Wally Backman
I don't believe you, it can’t be true
The way you drink, and cuss, and chew
(Mercy!)
Wally Backman, you play so dirty
Wally Backman, with your boy Lenny
Wally Backman
You’re a Redneck, can’t you see?
Just ask Darryl Strawberry
(Arrrrrrrgh!)
Wally Backman, so hostile
Wally Backman, no hairstyle
Wally Backman, rank-and-file 2B
Wally Backman, porn moustache
Wally Backman, when he plays
Wally Backman, hits OK, for me
But I need platoons, he only hits good right
That snot-nosed okie, he likes to fight
Wally Backman, never shuts his trap
Wally Backman, tighter than shrink wrap
Wally Backman…
Don't walk away, hey…
OK…
If that's the way it must be, OK
I guess we’ll trade your ass, you’re done
We got Gregg Jefferies coming up …
What do I see?
We stink like week-old pee
Yeah, we screwed up royally
Oh, oh, Wally Backman

Another tough choice.
Is it my imagination, or are this years contenders way, way better than last year's?

i hate "kokomo", but it was neat work, soupy.
still, widey's "pretty woman" riff puts 2LiveCrew to shame, and is perfect for that butt ugly Backman.

CM, I didn't see last year's entries in the challenge, but I'm super impressed with everything this year!

Widey takes our closest race, 15-11.
It was the week-old pee.
