Story Behind The Song

props to Steve Ison for the "ballgame" feel.

Song Description

Rocky Colavito, Cleveland Indian's slugger, best arm in the game. They could have been a contender but they traded him.

Lyrics

Don't Knock The Rock

the Yankess were the team to beat,
who could send 'em to defeat?
don't knock the Rock,
he's got a rifle arm.

known to chase a sucker pitch,
the Rock was dangerous in the clutch.
don't knock the Rock,
he's got a rifle arm.

Mickey hits a fly to deep right,
the Rock lumbers back,
from deep on the warning track,
fires a strike home.

"Colavito makes the catch,
here comes the throw, holy cow he's out."
don't knock the Rock, he's got a rifle arm.
