Inspired by Chuck Brodsky and Philip Bechis Clark You say I’m acting different now You say I’m getting really weird You say I’m a bit too obsessive It’s not as bad as you feared No, I’m not going crazy I haven’t gone insane I’m just excited about Opening Day It’s Major League Baseball on my brain I used to play with my buddies On the sandlot and we’d pretend We were players from different teams We’d battle it out ’til day’s end Now I think of all those moments When I even played through the pain If you had the upbringing I had, you’d Have Major League Baseball on your brain My father taught me how to throw He showed me how to hit He’d pitch the baseball to me He bought me my first leather mitt So it’s not just about baseball, as you see It’s about the memories that we made It has probably meant more to me Than any girlfriend or passing grade So it’s just me getting pumped up For my favorite players and home team This year I’ve bought season tickets It’s been a bucket list item and lifelong dream To go spend a year enjoying from the stands It’s a feeling I find hard to explain Just know I’m not psychotic - I’ve only got Major League Baseball on my brain Oh, just know I’m not losing my mind, I’ve only got Major League Baseball on my brain March 27, 2021
