Daddy Played First Base:Homer And Jethro. On RCA Records in 1970. #1. I remember when I was a lad, what a fine baseball team we had. Folks would come from miles around to see us play. We played the Redsox, beat their sox off. We played the Redlegs, beat their legs off. We played the Astros, but it rained that day. Daddy played first base, Mama played second. Brother and sister were the catcher and the pitcher. Shortstop was a good old Boy Named Sue. Three big, home run hittin' guys out in the outfield shaggin' flies. Brothers Art and Bart and cousin Far-go, too. #2. I remember one place so well, stayin' at the old Baseball Hotel, owned and operated by my uncle Fred. We all laughed when he explained how the Baseball Hotel got it's name. The pitcher's on the table and the catcher's under the bed. Daddy played first base, Mama played second. Brother and sister were the catcher and the pitcher. Shortstop was a good old Boy Named Sue. Three big, home run hittin' guys out in the outfield shaggin' flies. Brothers Art and Bart and cousin Far-go, too. #3. Out to the barnyard we would go, learnin' how to hit and run and throw. We had cows and horses all around the place. Once we laughed until we split, when my daddy got a hit. He slid into what he thought was second base. Daddy played first base, Mama played second. Brother and sister were the catcher and the pitcher. Shortstop was a good old Boy Named Sue. Three big, home run hittin' guys out in the outfield shaggin' flies. Brothers Art and Bart and cousin Far-go, too. Brothers Art and Bart and cousin Far-go, too. A seventies smash from Kraziekhat.
