White Sox ace, Dylan Cease has written a poem in honor of his legend-in-the-making slider.
O’ Slider Slide
By Dylan Cease
O’ slider slide o’ slider slide
Past the batsman I send my slider to hide
O’ slider slide o’ slider slide
Past the batsmen I send that round cowhide
O’ slider slide o’ slider slide
A fortune staked on you lest I over stride
O’ slider slide o’ slider slide
In the strike zone indeed a win is implied
O’ slider slide o’ slider slide
The humans can’t believe my 3000rpm and fastball ride
O’ slider slide o’ slider slide
Your execution can earn you a bride
O’ slider slide o’ slider slide
Even the back up tried
O’ slider slide o’ slider slide
To the back foot of a lefty … check swing and the ump is wrong
