Frankline Edwin McGraw~1944-2004.

News of sadness once again heard,
another hero gone.
"Ya gotta believe", were his famous words,
from Tug McGraw's throne.
No other could where the crown,
what a ball he could throw.
Not a better pitcher to be found,
all of his fans do know.
A hope and courage award you received,
a warrior and fighter.
We'll never forget,"Ya gottaa believe,"
you've made our stadium brighter.
Now your life's been put to rest,
God show him his path please.
This great man has passed the test,
in 1980 he won the world series.
We'll say goodbye, to this one so tall,
in our eyes we see.
God made his call to Tug McGraw,
remember,"Ya Gotta Believe!"
