My favorite battery died
Two stars from the past
It's hard to believe, uh
Now they both have passed
Jerry Grote and Tom Seaver
I remember many a summer afternoon
Spending it at Shea
Watching, no, not the cartoon
But the real Tom and Jerry play
Most times they'd win
Sometimes they'd lose, man
If Tom Seaver wasn't pitchin'
It might be Jerry Koosman
Jerry Grote was one tough hombré
He'd stare at you and say in that Texas drawl
'Wanna steal a base on me today?
I dare ya. Go ahead and try, y'all'
Was so glad he was on the Mets
A big reason we won the Series, see?
Now he's gone, Mets fans won't forgets
Jerry Grote RIP
