2, 4, 6, 8
\nWe were the team they would always appreciate
\nFacing our team meant an automatic win
\nThen we were forced to shake hands and smile no matter how bad it had been
\nOur team sitting at dead last
\nGetting destroyed game after game was such a freaking blast
\nOur team barely getting a run
\nEverything would change when our coach said just go have fun<\/p>\n
Our team heard those magical words
\nInside our baseball hearts there was powerful surge
\nGame after game we became a different team
\nPlease nobody wake me up from this dream
\nHit after hit, score after score
\nThe team the opponents faced earlier in the season doesnt exist anymore.
\nEven got kicked out of a game
\nThe catcher I ran over and the ump shared their last name<\/p>\n
From dead last to 2nd by the end of the season
\nCoach’s magical speech was the reason
\nAt the end of the month the playoffs will begin
\nProofing to the rest of the teams that we have the fire inside to win
\nGame after game behind the plate
\nWatching our team evolve from nothing to great
\nThis is what happens when your feet score run after run.
\nI will never forget when baseball was that fun<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
