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
