I've got to say this from the start Hate me though, you may! I'm from Philly, born and raised To God and sports we pray! When I was just a little girl The Phillies beat them all I wanted to marry Michael Schmidt Sure we would have a ball! I worked so very hard at school To earn a bunch of A's Because the Philly paper gave Free tickets out as praise! And as I grew my team has had Its share of downs and ups But win or lose, I like tight pants And cold beer in my cups! My mother was a Phillies fan And I find it oh so fitting That the last time they were World Champs We at her wake were sitting.

Cute piece for the ball fanatic. Surprise ending and all. Can't help wondering if she watched the game from up above?

I'm sure she watched us (her five kids) watching it for her!
