#ShowYouRemember The following baseball rhyme published in January 1918 seems like a fitting poem for today as we think back to the thousands of soldiers who persevered for the freedom we enjoy today. Lest We Forget: When the world seems all against you, When the catcher throws the game, And the bleachers get to growling’, Keep on playin’ just the same. When your battin’ eye has left you, And you couldn’t hit the moon. Don’t cuss the ump; just whistle, Even if you ain’t in tune. When you tie ‘em in the seventh With a man on every sack, And your best man fans, don’t wobble Just stiffen up your back. That’s the thing every rookie Learns before he makes a name – Even if you feel it’s hopeless, Keep-a-fighting! Play the game! ~“Play the Game” The Canadian Machine Gunner, January 1918
