This is the Bat

This is the bat

That hit the ball

Over the wall

The is the bat

That walloped the ball

Over the wall

Not once but four

This is the bat

That hammered the ball

Over the wall

Not once but four

Against Baltimore

This is the bat

That smashed the ball

Over the wall

And with each homer

Into the night sky

Elvis on base

For eight RBI

This is the bat

That crushed the ball

Over the wall

Not once but four

Against Baltimore

And into baseball lore

On May 8, 2012, Josh Hamilton of the Texas Rangers became only the 16th Major League Baseball player to belt four home runs in one game, a feat that is actually less common than a Perfect Game, of which there have been 21.  Hamilton's bat is on its way to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown.  It made a brief appearance at Rangers Stadium in Arlington, TX during the Rangers- Kansas City Royals game.
