There once was a rookie so new,
With dreams of what he could do,
He practiced and he trained,
And soon he became,
A star that shone bright, it's true.

With each passing season, he grew,
His record and stats outgrew,
His teammates were proud,
As he stood out from the crowd,
And he worked hard to reach his breakthrough.

He traveled far to Japan,
To play with a brand new plan,
And there he showed his skill,
And impressed with his will,
As he hit singles and ran.

He won championships with his team,
It was like living a dream,
In the league, he was king,
And he kept batting with a zing,
With a high average that made him beam.

So kids, always remember this,
If you work hard, you won't miss,
Your chance to become,
An all-star, just like some,
And record your own victories and bliss.
