A Switch Hitter Looks for 'That' Pitch
A switch hitter looks for 'that' pitch.
That certain one,
To bat a home run off of it.
Not to swing to foul or strike out.
But to prove his game played is legit.
With the hope that a home run,
Gets some cheering from a crowd...
Paying to have fun.
And the cheering done as the hitter runs,
Is prayed not to be the only one to come.
And in the dugout the hitter is welcomed,
As a hero.
Ending with a ceasing of cracked jokes.
And the spitting out of old bubble gum chewed!
As a new pack is passed...
While the players encourage the next at bat!

There has always been a saying in baseball that you can't make a hitter, but I think you can improve a hitter. More than you can improve a fielder. More mistakes are made hitting than in any other part of the game.

Last Exit Brooklyn
When the sun crashes into your world
Look around and you try and find your girl
And youre daring, too sick of what you see
Out of town is the only place to be
When your life starts to run out of juice
Feel like dyin and you just want to get loose
Prayin moves dont make much sense to you
Seeing red before your feeling is blue
Last exit brooklyn....last exit brooklyn
Going back, getting out of this town
Stretch it lean and mean, it turns you around
Take your dreams and stretch them out on the street
Take your turn to get back on your feet
Feel the wheels singin over the ridge
Feel the song like oakland take you
All the time you knew you had the itch
All the girls were glad to see you
Last exit brooklyn....last exit brooklyn
Girl in ol v wont pray
Dont give you a hard time
All the girls from brooklyn say
Last exit brooklyn....last exit brooklyn
Do you remember the day you left the block
Your mama said you would live to regret it
Coming home, coming stoned, come in hope, coming ready
Are you holding steady
Last exit brooklyn....last exit brooklyn....last exit brooklyn

Brooklyn
Child of freedom still new to this world
Brooklyn
Summer magic my sweet baby sweet girl
All the waiting all the praying
Brought the answer to all of the love weve been saving
All the hoping all the needing
Turned the dream of a vision into a real thing
Mamas happy
Brooklyn
Child of rhythm riding on a moonlit star
Brooklyn
Pretty daughter born with a smile
Daddy felt you fore he saw you
Mommy carried you so long

Four is a family so strong

Sweetest princess well grow as you go
All the waiting all the praying
Brought the answer to all of the love weve been saving
All the hoping all the needing
Turned the dream of a vision into the real thing

Came together and I thank God above
Brooklyn
Child of freedom
Baby your daddys so proud of you

Were all going to love you yeah

The pitcher has to find out if the hitter is timid, and if he is timid, he has to remind the hitter he's timid.

Brooklyn Blues
Words by Bruce Sussman and Jack Feldman
Music By Barry Manilow
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
See I flew in from the West Coast
Just the other day.
Yes, I flew in from the West Coast
and we circled J.F.K.
The movie ended and I pulled up the shade,
looked out the window while the Muzak played.
But in my head I'm singin',
singin' the Brooklyn Blues.
Oh, yea.
When you're growin' up in Brooklyn
the Bridge is like a friend.
Said when you're growin' up in Brooklyn
that Bridge is sure your friend.
Because that river, looks a hundred miles wide
when all your dreams are on the other side,
and th at can start you singin'
singin' the Brooklyn Blues.
Oh, yea.
Now I've got myself some money
a mansion in Bel-aire.
Yes I've spent a lot of money
and I"ve been most ev'ry-where.
But still there's somethin' missin' I"ve got to find,
a part of me I must've left behind,
that makes a guy start feelin',
feelin' those Brooklyn Blues.
My my.
I've sung love songs to a princess
more than once or twice.
I"ve sung rock 'n' roll in Paris,
jazz in paradise.
But there's a song of mine I couldn't have sung,
a tune I started back when I was young.
Now I've come home to finish,
finish my Brooklyn Blues.
My Brooklyn Blues.

The job at Brooklyn is interesting because Brooklyn reflects what happened to university art departments everywhere. It might be the worst department now, and yet at one point it was the best in the country.

Brooklyn
A race of angels
Bound with one another
A dish of dollars
Laid out for all to see
A tower room at eden rock
His golf at noon for free
Brooklyn owes the charmer
Under me
His ladys aching
To bring a body down
She daily preaches
On where she wants to be
An evening with a movie queen
A face we all have seen
Brooklyn owes the charmer
Under me
A case of aces
Done up loose for dealing
A piece of island cooling in the sea
The whole of time we gain or lose
And power enough to choose
Brooklyn owes the charmer
Under me

The Brooklyn Bridge
The East River flows below it,
wistful, deep and wide
looking up at Brooklyn Bridge
that reaches side to side.
And in my mind I think about
each man that gave his life
to build this giant frame,
majestic in design.
I think of them in wonderment
as I walk its full length
and marvel at their bravery
and all their work has meant.
At night its lights bring magic
but magic really sits
inside the hearts of all the men
that built the Brooklyn Bridge

Dienda
How like the fall
To be gone in a day
Just as the leaves had turned gold
I was drawn to the sound
That the wind carried down
From an open window pane
And oh, how like a song
Or a sad melody
To linger long after the end
And the harmony rings
With the promise of spring
On a Brooklyn street
How like the fall to be gone in a day
Just as the trees had turned gold
I was drawn to this sound
That some fingers had found
But now the winter seems to stay too long
How like a song
Or a sad melody
To linger long after it's gone
Though the window is closed
And the questions it posed
On a Brooklyn street
How like the spring
To return in a day
When everything seems to be new
But here's someone who's hoping
The window is open
On that Brooklyn street again
And oh, how like a song
Or a sweet melody
To linger long after it's gone
Let the harmony ring
With the promise of spring
On a Brooklyn street

Brooklyn 'Extended
Beautiful culture
Parks, brownstones, cheesecake, and BAM
Home away from home.
Children museums
Legends of Dodgers,
And Masonic lodges.
Blocks and bodegas,
24 hour beer and food;
A Non sleeping borough.
Pharmaceuticals!
Hand to hand acid to xanax,
Street doctors and feans.
Girls with attitude
That can box like men precise,
So sexy and real.
The largest borough.
Cultural hot pot
Mobs, gangs, cops, D.A.'s
Inflated prices
A million dollar home blows.
Overrated!
Crooked investors
Mortgage fraud and feds.
Since 911 bleed
NYC vacates.
Brooklyn's the new Manhattan,
Home of Rabbi and Muslims.
Catholics and Zen
New age, Wicca, and Rasta.20
Reggae and whole foods.
Vegetarian-
Pizza, and West Indian
Chinese, Indian.
Sushi and Rotis
Liquor stores and lottery,
Fun and energy.
Hip hop and Biggie (R.I.P.)
Boot camp, Jay Z, and Foxy
Buddha Monk. Ol dirty (R.I.P.)
Some get so dirty
Some get all types of grimy,
Bullets are marshal law.
Blacks, Jews, and Spanish
Crow Hill and Cemeteries
Do or die Bed stuy.
B vill or B killed
East New York, Flatbush, Red hook
Fort Greene, Clinton Hill.
New wave bar, lounges
Williamsburg and Park Slope rule;
Everything's Marked up.
Native cops don't beat
So sometimes good kids get killed.
What's that a wallet?
Projects and housing,
To many people in one plot block
More drugs more murder.
Eminent domain
Bad plan for Nets Stadium
Flow of traffic, parking sucks.
Ratner and Marty
Plans to convert Fort Greene soon.
Condominiums?
50 cent loose Newports,
One dollar 24 ounce Coors,
Dutch masters and weed
Summer prescription
Cold, spring, fall prescription
Good old Brooklyn fun.
Good old Brooklyn
Kings County, County of Kings.
Home of my people!
Brooklynites
