Ode to Barry Bonds



ODE TO BARRY BONDS
The Giants are gettin rid of Barry after 15 years
The fans are angry and the kids are in tears
But nobody said that life was fair
You gave us so many great memories
By breaking records and letting us watch history
Leading the team in home runs even at 43
It's not your fault this season was full of misery
Through the years, I made sure I got my tix
So I could be there for 500,600,700, and 756
Next year there will be many empty green seats
And probably more losses and defeats
When the team lost, you always took the heat
762 homers, that's quite a feat
The media kept on calling you a cheat
But you never let them haters get you down
And you always made pitchers nervous on the mound
So scared they would just give you four balls
Throw a strike and the outfielder runs out of room at the wall
You are the greatest ever, no doubt
The player that fans will tell their grandkids about
Better than the Babe and Hank
Barry, you will be gone but for the 15 years, we say thanks

Ode #2
Barry meant everything to the team
Him being gone,I hope it's just a dream
He gave us nothing but fond memories
With his home runs that made history
When Barry left the game, we left the stands
Because we came to watch "The Man"
He is one of the best and a true legend
And his father is watching down proudly in Heaven
For the Giants, he was our MVP
Still hitting homers at the age of 43
Why are they letting him go when he can't be replaced?
Next year we might still be in last place
Barry, you will be missed
And all we can do is say thanks and think back and reminisce
You are the best player ever to play this game
And we'll see you soon in the Hall of Fame
