Fields Of Play

Oh fields of green and brown
Where two good teams
Play in October
One with history
But much on their side
As they've long played with pride
That 11 Series won
Of the World kind
Would give them right to play them so

As for the other
This is their first
They've ever finished with their worst
With ache and break
In their sadful hearts
As they could not make it past
The Divisional play

But history mattered not at all
This day in the Fall
Of 2019
They played mean
And didn't let them reach
With anything more
Than but four
Three to walks and batters hit
And one to a single
Yes that was it

Could it be
Well only time will tell
As one game won
Just ain't four
They need damn more
And the last of that
Will be hard indeed

Still one but down
Is one but up
And three to go 
Winning of a series
Is always good

On fields of green and brown
Two teams played
With one but winning
And one yes losing
Just the ways it's always been

Only this time there
The one that won
They won their first
But ever done
And what's to come
Will only be found
In the coming days
