Randy, Junior, Alex gone, Lou was here to carry on But who was gonna hit home runs, The Mariners 2001 Who was this fellow Ichiro, they said he’s great, we didn’t know From the land of the rising sun, The Mariners 2001 Into the season of unknowns, beat the A’s first game at home 1 and 0 and out in front, The Mariners 2001 They won eleven, dropping four, hit a streak and won nine more Nine games up, and they weren’t done, The Mariners 2001 The bats were simply all on fire, the glovework, in a word, inspired The pitching wouldn’t be outdone, The Mariners 2001 Fifty wins on June 14, spectacular became routine So there’s two outs, they said “So what”, The Mariners 2001 Led by twenty in July, the AL West was hung and dried Was A-Rod having any fun? The Mariners 2001 One hundred wins, September five, the record pace was still alive Fans went crazy in the sun, The Mariners 2001 A morning in September, we were shaken to our knees And baseball did it’s best to bring us back to normalcy The M’s then clinched with grace and style, a flag upon the field They finished winning 116, their place in history sealed Jamie, Paul, Aaron, Freddy, on the mound to pitch to Danny Kaz came in, the deal is done, The Mariners 2001 Infield Guillen, Bell, and Boone, anchored by John Olerud Cammy had a golden glove, The Mariners 2001 The bench had played beyond compare, McLemore and Javier Nelson, Rhodes had nasty stuff, The Mariners 2001 Edgar was the best again, hit ‘em out and drove ‘em in Jay retired a favorite son, The Mariners 2001 Ichiro was MVP, a catalyst, a sight to see Lou worked magic with the club, The Mariners 2001 A once in a lifetime chance to see among best in history It was a legendary run, The Mariners 2001 Words by Deuce Bender/Music by Deuce Bender and Chris Ballew Chris Ballew – All Vocals and instruments |
