The Baseball Project - The Yips
I had it all, I was a star in LAI raised the bar, that's how I played
Rookie of the year, World Series ring
I could do it all, it wasn't no thing
But one day, overnight - something just didn't feel right
Like some medieval curse, I couldn't throw the ball to first
Everything that came so easily before, why can't I do it again?
I've got the yips!
60 feet, six inch, used to be such a cinch
Not high on the mound
Crouching down behind the plate, on the ground
Pitcher waiting for the ball, all that I can do is stall
I just can't get it out of my head, so I throw to center field instead
Everything that came so easily before, why can't I do it again?
I've got the yips!
On the mound in 71
Against Baltimore, I had a lot of fun
'72 was gonna be great, until I couldn't find the plate
Everything that came so easily before, why can't I do it again?
I've got the yips!
