The Yankees finally went ahead So they batted in two more runs At Bates the loyal fans began "The Red Sox choked!" the fans screamed out; And thought they had it clinched Soon the board showed five to four.

It's strange that Commons was empty that night and cheer the Red Sox on. With smiles full of gleam. The game commenced; the fans were crude; When they were serving pork But Bucky proved a star. But what Batesic could think of food While they sat and watched the bout Deep down I knew that soon enough Then Reggie Jackson followed suit — The dorms were silent as tombs When Boston met New York? The Yankees' bats would strike; Fans headed for a bar. Sox fans watching in the lounges The pitching soon would come around Yanks fans hiding in their rooms. An open glove, that ball called home And smash that Red Sox hype. It all came down to Rice and Yaz, Defeat had been abrupt The new star and the old. The game began, soon the Red Sox led Their was no joy in Batcsville The lead grew short as August came; A fly-out and a sad pop-up Yet victory was distant as the stars Yasztremski had popped up. The Yankees headed north. And the Yanks had taken hold. The pinstripes entered Fenway Park Like troopers marching forth. One hundred games the Yankees won. A Cy Young winner's reign. A three game series showed the world They beat the Sox for one last time Field Hockey Team And history will mark their fame.
