| I googled baseball filk to see what I would find and I found a page by someone calling herself "Marinerd" and one of her filks was to "Eye of the Tiger". I loved it. But I thought I could improved it. So this is version 2. by me based on Marinerd's work.
The Guy with the Slider To the tune of Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger"
In to close, bringing the heat Brad Lidge throws in the 90s Philly fans are all up on their feet Want to see him record the last outs
Thinking heat, what do they do? Take their swing much too early But Lidge comes in with the breaking stuff too 'Cause the heater's not what he's about
CHORUS: He's the guy with the slider Watch the arc of the flight Darting down as the hitter is retired With the last of their lineup In to face him tonight And they whiff when they're facing the guy With the slider
Batter up, stand at the plate Bradley throws him a slider No longer early, now his swing is too late And it's strike three and he sits back down
CHORUS:
Got it done, finished the game Got the save and the glory In the future, they'll remember his name As a man in the pitching elite
CHORUS:
The guy with the slider (repeat)
