Ummmm, no. Not even sure I understand what you are asking.

The whiz kids had won it,

Bobby Thompson had done it,

And Yogi read the comics all the while.

Rock n roll was being born,

Marijuana we would scorn,

So down on the corner

The national past-time went on trial.

 

Refrain:

We're talkin' baseball

Kluzuski Campanella

Talkin' baseball

The man and Bobby Fella

The Scooter, the Barber, and the Newc

They knew them all from Boston to Dubuque

Especially Willie, Mickey, and the Duke.

 

Well Casey was winning,

Hank Aaron was beginning,

One Robbie going out, one coming in.

Kiner and Midget Cadell,

The Thumper and Mel Parnell,

And Ike was the only one winning down in Washington.

 

Refrain.

 

Now my old friend

The Bachelor

Wee he swore he was the Oklahoma Kid.

And Cookie played hooky

To go and see the Duke,

And me I always loved Wil Willie .

Those were the days.

 

Well now it's the 80's,

And Brett is the greatest,

And Bobby Bonds could play for everyone.

Rose is at the Vet,

Rusty again is a Met,

And the great Alexander is pitching again in Washington.

 

I'm talkin' baseball,

Like Reggie, Cueez(?) and Berry,

Talkin' baseball,

Carew and Gaylord Perry,

Seaver, Bobby Schmidt and Vida Blue,

If Cooperstown is calling, it's no fluke.

They'll be with Willie, Mickey, and the Duke.

Willie, Mickey, and the Duke. (Say hey, say hey, say hey)

It was Willie, Mickey and the Duke (Say hey, say hey, say hey)

I'm talkin' Willie, Mickey and the Duke (Say hey, say hey, say hey)

 

Well Mr. Burns had done it,

The power plant had won it,

With Roger Clemens clucking all the while,

Mike Scioscia's tragic illness made us smile,

While Wade Boggs lay unconscious on the barroom tile...

 

We're talkin' softball...

From Maine to San Diego.

Talkin' softball...

Mattingly and Canseco.

Ken Griffey's grotesquely swollen jaw.

Steve Sax and his run-in with the law.

We're talkin' Homer... Ozzie and the Straw.

I wasn't aware of the parody. Thanks.

My question therefore was...is it ok if I know of the original solely because of the parody?

 

Oh, and there appears to have been a misspellunk in my post as well.

LOL. Ok, I guess that's acceptable.
