Dirt
The dirty uniform
Represents hustle and heart,
And a love for the game
In which you take part.
A perfectly groomed diamond,
A lush, green carpet of grass,
A deep respect for the game
That shows your class.
The ping of the bat
And the zip of the ball.
And the wrath of the crowd
Oven an ump's bad call.
