The New Hero

The New Hero
We used to think that Baker had the waop
To break up any tight Worlds Series game;
And when it came to slaugherin the waya
batter 'oughter'
We'd swiftly turn to Speaker for the same;
But when it comes to baggng any title
To stepping up and peeing off thrill
You may have your CObbs and Bakers and
your other home-run makers,
For we'd rather this Hooper smash the
pill.
We always thought that Cravath was the
slugger,
That Lewis was the man to bag the kale;
And as for little Barry, here's they
said would carry
Every wallop that needed the
trai
But all of these are cut off from their
Like bushers who are driven from the map,
For all the latest prattle of the last October
battle
Is built upon this Hooper and his rap.

Is hitting that's delights could ask for greater exhibit
than that in the final and could there be great
