MINNESOTA VS ST-LOUIS - WORLD SERIES 1987

MINNESOTA AND THE CARDINALS,
WENT DOWN TO THE WIRE THIS YEAR.
BASEBALL'S CHAMPAGNE GIVE IT THEIR ALL,
FOR THEIR SUPERLATIVES , THE FANS DID CHEER.
THE CARDINALS MISSED CLARKE AND PENDLETON,
THE OUTCOME MIGHT HAVE CHANGED , YOU KNOW.
THEIR DEFENSIVE GEMS AND CLUTCH HITTING,
MADE IT A CLASSIC , AS SERIES GO.
VIOLA AND BLYLEVAN HAD THE STUFF,
WHAT PITCHERS FANTASIZE ABOUT.
COX AND TUDOR ARE A STRIPE ABOVE,
WITH THESE PITCHERS , THERE WAS NO DOUBT.
WITH OZZIE SMITH AND TOMMY HERR,
COULD YOU ASK FOR A BETTER PAIR?
THE STROKES OF PUCKETT AND BRUNANSKY,
IN POWER , MINNESOTA HAD THEIR SHARE.
BON BAYLOR AND MONSIEUR GAGNE,
HIT THE SPOT , WHEN THE TWINS WERE UP.
MCGEE AND COLEMAN SHOWED THE STUFF,
THAT HAS FILLED THE CARDINALS CUP.
KELLY AND HERZOG WERE MASTERS OF CHESS,
IN A FALL CLASSIC BEYOND COMPARE.
THIS WAS ONE OF BASEBALL'S FINEST HOURS,
THE COMPETITION WAS FIERCE AND FAIR.
