Phil Rizzuto - "From Slumber I Heard the Men At Work"

I.

Friday.
When I was forced
To leave the game after six innings, You know,
I almost came back in the 13th inning
Moore.
I want you to know I was thinking
Of Murcer and Seaver there.

II.

I woke up
and it was like,
Like a nightmare.
I said, "Could the game still be going on?"
And sure enough.
I started to get dressed.
And then the 14th inning came.
If it had gone another inning,
I'd have been there.


August 30, 1992
New York at Minnesota
Russ Springer pitching to Chili Davis
Sixth inning, two outs, bases empty
Twins lead 5-1
