For Stan Getchell

lyrics

Nine different tee shirts, nine different colors
That's how you know who's on your baseball team this summer
School's out, Sipe's Park

Take the kids from the east side, kids from the west side
Kids from the country out to the Brooklyn Park boundary
Line 'em up, Sipe's Park

Stan had a list, put us in a line
Roll the gear bag out, now I think it's time
Play ball, Sipe's Park

I wish every kid had a Stan Getchell in their life
Set it all up, take it all down, make it all come out right

We loved our baseball and our nine-colored tee shirt
Stan was the umpire, not a parent in the bleacher
That's just fine at Sipe's Park

I wish every kid had a Stan Getchell in their life
Set it all up, take it all down, make it all come out right

We're on our bikes after the game
Stopping at the Tastee Freeze, hey there's Slimmer McLean
He says, "just another day, sweet summer day
Gonna be another day at Sipe's Park."
