In Honor of Baseball Hall of Fame Weekend and the undeniable respect Hip-Hop artists have for the game

I present this find from the STRAIGHT//OUTTA//COOPERSTOWN tumbler:

A mashup of Hall of Famers from America’s two favorite pastimes.

“Then I get physical and hit you with another hit /

The brother’s it, and nothing’s equivalent”

“Do the Smurf, do the Wop, Baseball Bat /

Rooftop like I’m bringing ‘88 back”

“The pitcher all on the mound /

Throwin’ fastballs with a curve,

the nerve of speedballin, HA”

“Crank shit, Shawshank Redemption scholar/

Roll up, based on dollars, baseball hat, big collar”

“Yo, my man, how bad do you want it? /

You know how many cats I threw the pitch, and they never caught it?”

“Can’t do the shit we do, the way we do wit’ no dough /
That’s like trying to win a ballgame, if you ain’t takin’ no score”

“You need to put me in the hall of fame /
I’m worldwide, a legend in this game, (check the resume)”

“How the fuck can I stay out the pen /
When it’s one-two-three strikes you in”

“They get in a slump like baseball players when they short on they rent /
Anything goin’ you ain’t knowin’ how much money you spent”

“Whip smelling like fish from 125th /
Throwing ketchup on my fries, hittin’ baseball spliffs”

“You talk all that robbery shit, but it’s lame /
You wouldn’t steal first base at a baseball game”

“Never defeated not conceited, but let’s face facts /
Couldn’t beat me with a motherfuckin’ baseball bat”

“I get baseball money, check my home run average /
Take over the game and let my homeboys have it”

“So what, I’m a player, playing the field /
if you want me, you better yield”

“Wherever I go, my crew is true to swarm /
Got stripes in New York like Yankee uniforms”

“I go for the home run, you the type to bunt /
No support, stay in court twice a month, light the blunt”

“All day ho, my neck look sweeter than parfait ho /
Rap Derek Jeter in a red two seater /
I can throw this dick from far away ho”

“Coming in the club with that fresh shit on /
With something crazy on my arm /
Uh-uh-hum, and here’s another hit; Barry Bonds”

“Now I’m in the 9th inning /
Thought I fell off, ain’t quite finished”

“Wu Killa Bee appear on your body like the pox /
Keep rivalries like Yankees and the Red Sox /
I’d rather see it in the ballpark, then see it on the block”

“And big hitter in, leavin’ a fitter in, literin’ /

Get rid of considerin’, rocks be glitterin’”

“I’m coming boisterous with 5 million switches /

I’m the man with single and double and triple 

and four five six time them bitches”

“I father, I Brooklyn Dodger them /

I jack, I rob, I sin /

Aww man, I’m Jackie Robinson”

“Should’ve known when I made it all the way to third base /

And that was only the first date / 

Could of made it to home plate”

“How dare those who talk, we can’t have them /

Some make me wanna go out with the bat and a magnum”

“Won’t be a strike three, cause I don’t play fair /

I'mma look you in your eye while he hit you from the rear”

“With my jeans on, and my team strong /

Get my drink on, and my smoke on /

Then go home with, something to poke on”

“Cause you ain’t got no points in this game, kid you frontin’ /

I’m home run hittin’, you be buntin’”
