I Dreamed I Was in Baseball Heaven   I dreamed I was there in Baseball Heaven Oh, what a beautiful sight And I met all the players in Baseball Heaven Oh, what a star spangled night   Last night I dreamed I was in Baseball Heaven And just as I arrived the players gathered round And there in middle of the diamond stood Who else but Mickey Mantle and Ken Boyer   They welcomed me and Mick said come join in I know there's some other guys you wanta see Over there's someone you know Your old friend Ferrell Anderson from Joplin days   And there's Scoop Albright The old windmiller from Galena Barney Barnett Jr., from Baxter Springs He's still as big as ever   George Grantham, he goes way back He and a fellow Galena boy, Bill Windle They named a street after George In Pittsburgh with the Pirates   Everett Labor he signed with the Cardinals A busted vessel in his leg sent him home Now he's here pitching strong as ever Wearing his Bulldog blue and white   There was Ike Labor, Boyer brothers Cloyd and  Cletis, and a roster long on familiar names Boys known in the Tri-State all A large group it was, and what a lineup   Of course, the guy doing the managing now, I guess it would be proper to say He's a real baseball God   I dreamed I was in Baseball Heaven Oh, what a star studded night   Then I asked Mick and Ken, I said, well Who do you think will be showin' up next, You know, sometime down the road?   Mick handed me a big tally book and in it I saw names like Mike Anderson, Alan Cockrell, Ron Boyer,  Others whom I remember well   And then there was Bob Skahan, Bill Russell, from Pittsburg, another Boyer, and Bryce Martin Ooh... that's when I woke And I'm sorry I did   'Cause I dreamed I was there in Baseball Heaven Oh, what a beautiful sight And I met all the players in Baseball Heaven Oh, what a star spangled night New lyrics by Bryce Martin used by permission from a song written by Hal Southern and Eddie Dean for Sage Music (SESAC) and popularized on vinyl by Tex Ritter. ...
