“If I only had a batting eye like Teddy,

If I had the speed of John D. ducking fines,

I’d have a big league job and hold it steady,

For I’d make both Cobb and Wagner look like shines;

If I could only ‘steal’ (in running bases)

Like all these ‘malefactors of great wealth,’

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

And I wouldn’t be here playing for my health.”
