Mr. Tamburrino
by Chiba Tadayoshi
January 13, 2013

Hey!  Mr. Tamburrino, you’ve been stuck in single-A
You are ready, but there is no place you’re going to
Hey!  Mr. Tamburrino, you just want to play
In the League of the Rising Sun I’ll come followin’ you

You play for Gakidou Onryou, covering first base
You seem so out of place, you try to hide your face
As if this is a disgrace
But there’s no Double-A in this damn league


Where you bat matters little, your average does not dip
You ruin a pitcher’s WHIP, but you could not bite your lip
The front office you did rip
And now they’ve labeled you a malcontent

Hey!  Mr. Tamburrino, you’ve been stuck in single-A
You are ready, but there is no place you’re going to
Hey!  Mr. Tamburrino, you just want to play
In the League of the Rising Sun I’ll come followin’ you

The young boy holds his marker pleading, “Please, sir, sign this ball
You’re an Aussie, you’re so tall, does it ever make you fall?
When will you get the call?”
Through the gap your liner falls so gracefully

And you might hear the laughin’, clappin’, cheerin’ in the stands
They’re giving you a hand, these unrelenting fans
In this strange exotic land
Light years from the glory of the PEBAverse

Hey!  Mr. Tamburrino, you’ve been stuck in single-A
You are ready, but there is no place you’re going to
Hey!  Mr. Tamburrino, you just want to play
In the League of the Rising Sun I’ll come followin’ you

On the diamond, on the field, please do not despair
The ball hangs in the air, tagging up will get you there
And it matters that you care
The leather of the gloves is still intoxicating

So remember as you wipe your bat down: in the minors there’s no shame
When your walk-off wins the game, in the bars they’ll shout your name
And you’ll sip a taste of fame
As the real ghosts haunt the dugout closely watching you

Hey!  Mr. Tamburrino, you dream of triple-A
You are ready, and there is a place you’re going to
Yes, Baden Tamburrino, you just want to play
In the League of the Rising Sun I’ll come followin’ you

West Virginia Nailed it!!!

Today the West Virginia Alleghenies decided to revamp some of their coaches in the minor leagues.  That included firing pitching Jorge Aguilar from Maine (AA) and then promoting both David Sánchez and Akio Sai.  Doing that left an opening for a new pitching coach in Aruba (R).  While some thought that the team would go […]
