“If I could run the bases like Bill Bryan,

If I only had Ted Roosevelt’s batting eye,

If I had the reach of Thomas Fortune Ryan,

I’d never let another chance get by;

If I only was as cool as Charley Fairbanks;

Or had control like Harriman has got,

I’d be the diamond daisy, and I’d set the bleachers crazy,

For I’d be the greatest player of the lot.”
