FOR MARY Baseball in space
She was a red-planet rookie
And gravity was her disguise
She swung your head, caught you looking
Looking at those curves drop from the skies
Could you avert your eyes?

She was as wild as a wookiee
Pitching in the solar leagues
She made you smile and play hooky
Bewitching you with different speeds
Unhitching you guaranteed

     Saving every ray for Mary
     Paving every way for Mary
     Braving every day for Mary

She woke our team from its slumber
She taught us that the ball is round
And now you dream of her number
The goddess woman on the mound
Who struck you out and sat you down

          She knows to pitch it slow
          'Cause speed could smother
          She's lived enough to know
          You need a mother

     Waving in the air for Mary
     Shaving off your hair for Mary
     Saving every prayer for Mary
