I love this song because it happened to me in seventh grade exactly as the song says. I was a lefty myself, a member of the third string, relegated to right field. I spent a lot of time "watching the dandelions grow." When that momentous pop fly came my way, and fell into my glove, I watched confused as the other team exited. "Why are they leaving?" It was the last out of the game. My teammates practically mobbed me, as the coach shook her head in disbelief. I cry when I hear this song. Great memories!

One of the very best baseball songs -- and Noel Paul Stookey was the perfect person to sing it.
