his name was john franklin "home run" baker
around the turn of the century, he was quite the player
the original home run king in all of the majors
not even walter johnson wanted to face home run baker
but home run baker didn't hit too many homers
though i don't mean to say that this was any kinda misnomer
cause in the dead ball era 12 long balls was a quite a lot
well home run baker and the a's couldn't be stopped
the philadelphia infield cost one hundred thousand bucks
some say that infield was the best that there ever was
four pennants in five years with home run baker
but the a's sold him to the yanks, said baker see ya later
oh home run baker didn't hit too many homers
though i don't mean to say that this was any kinda misnomer
cause in the dead ball era 12 long balls was quite a few
couldn't wait to get to the bronx to see what he could do
but in new york, baker felt so out of place
"what's with this rabbit ball?" he asked, this is a different game
and murderer's row just five or so years away
pretty soon nobody even knew his name
cause home run baker didn't hit too many homers
though i don't mean to say that this was any kinda misnomer
cause in the dead ball era 12 long balls was pretty fine
but not even home run baker could turn back time
