Once upon a time, in a land far away,
Where the seasons were ever-changing, come what may,
A little boy dreamed of hitting a home run,
Of becoming a baseball star, number one.

He practiced every day, his swing getting strong,
He wanted to break records and prove them all wrong,
He knew he had it in him, with hard work and grit,
To show the world that he could be a great hit.

One day, he heard of a museum in Japan,
Where baseball history was on display, an amazing plan,
He begged his parents to take him there,
To see the greats of the game, beyond compare.

He saw the gloves and bats, the balls and gear,
He saw the legends of the game, and shed a tear,
He knew he had to keep practicing, day by day,
To become like them, and play the game their way.

And so, he went back home, more determined than before,
To practice and train, and give it his all and more,
He wanted to make his dream come true,
To be a baseball star, through and through.

The seasons came and went, but he never lost sight,
Of his goal to be great, to hit with all his might,
And with each passing day, he became a better player,
Living proof that hard work and practice are the best way to become a baseball player.
