With apologies to Simon and Garfunkel, and with all good wishes to The Master:

John, get to the park on time,
I know that your procedure is fine.
Come back, we’re gonna play Col-o-rado.
Suzy’s waiting and here you are:
The only living voice in New York,
The only living voice in New York.

“Downtown goes Frazier! That Frazier will amaze ya!”
“Bern, baby, Bern!”
“This is the dawning of the age of Gregorius!”

Oh, I get the news I need from the Yankees Report.
Yeah, I can gather all the news I need from the Yankees Report.
Hey, you got nothing to do today but smile.
Suzy’s waiting and there you are:
The only living voice in New York,
The only living voice in New York.

“The Giambino! The Sanchino! The Bam-Tino!”
“Aaron’s the Judge, but Brandon’s the Drury! Judge and Drury!”
“Back to back and belly to belly!”

Half of the time it’s gone
But you don’t know where
You don’t where—

“That ball is high, it is far—”

Half of the time it’s caught
But you don’t know where
You don’t know where—

“Thairo! Hits one to Cairo!”
“And like a good Gleyber, Torres is there!”
“Robinson Cano, don’tcha know!”

John, get to the park on time.
I know your procedure’s gone fine
Hey, let your honesty shine shine shine
Like it shines for us,
The only living voice in New York—

“Gio Urshela! The most happy fella!”
“C’est lui! C’est lui!”
“Tu-lo-hitz-ki! The Man of Troy!”

The only living voice in New York—

“He opened his Golden Gates and hit it in the seats! It’s a Ben Francisco treat!”

The only living voice in New York—

“Oh, there’s no predicting baseball…”

 

From the indispensable Yankee blog, It is High, It is Far, It is …. caught.
