First Girls in Little League Baseball

The year was 1974

When Little Leaguers learned the score.

President Ford took out his pen,

And signed a law that said from then

On women too would have the chance

To wear the stripes and wear the pants.

Now what you hear, as flags unfurl,

Is "Atta boy!" and "Atta girl!"
