Past Time Lyrics & Chords By The Baseball Project

When Campy Campaneris played all nine positions in a game
When Pete Rose demolished Ray Fosse, he was never the same
31 wins and an album on Capitol for Denny McLain
So long ago, so long, pastime, are you past your prime?
The DiMaggios, Shoeless Joe, Minnie Minoso, Yo La Tengo
Luis Aparicio and Nellie Fox made the Sox go-go
The sideburns of Pepitone and Oscar Gamble's afro
So long ago, so long, pastime, are you past your prime?
One thing you can say about time is that it always passes
One thing you can say about the game is that it's not getting any faster
You can get tangled up in a ball of rubber bands and twine
The cowhide and pine tar, snuff, spit, and chalk dust lines
Two round-trippers and a no-hitter, that's Rick Wise, not Bobby Wine
So long ago, so long, pastime, are you past your prime?
