Casey Stengel, NY Yankees.  They said he was 'too old' after the '60 Series.  His reply -- I'll never make the mistake of being 70 again!"\n\nEnded up with the Mets in their first season in '62

Look in Falling Up or Where the Sidewalk Ends or any other collection of Shel Silverstein.  He gets outside the box when it omes to poetry.  You might also want to look at some of Carl Sandburg's works.

Old Friends - Simon & Garfunkel\n\nOld friends,\nOld friends\nSat on their park bench\nLike bookends.\nA newspaper blown though the grass\nFalls on the round toes\nOf the high shoes\nOf the old friends.\n\nOld friends,\nWinter companions,\nThe old men\nLost in their overcoats,\nWaiting for the sunset.\nThe sounds of the city,\nSifting through trees,\nSettle like dust\nOn the shoulders\nOf the old friends.\n\nCan you imagine us\nYears from today,\nSharing a park bench quietly? \nHow terribly strange\nTo be seventy.\nOld friends,\nMemory brushes the same years\nSilently sharing the same fears

I love the one that is a poem about the monster under the bed and hobbes saves the day by just being there (cause the monster didn't know there was a tiger in the bed).  Best Line: "Hey wake up you stupid cretin! Are you gonna sleep while I get eaten!?!?!?"  I'll check my collection books and see if I can find page number for the rest of ya.

Probably "Rock & Roll pt.2" by Gary Glitter. They play that one at ALOT of sporting events. It has no real lyrics.

I'm a fan of the oldies: Fenway and Yankee Stadium for sure.\n\nI still miss Tiger Stadium - but in many ways Comerica Park is a worthy successor.  (I'll admit, I'm partially saying that because I'm a girl and the bathroom lines are SO MUCH shorter at Comerica.)
