We're so sorry Uncle Albert
We're so sorry that you’re in a lot of pain
We're so sorry Uncle Albert
But the team you left behind is slowly going down the drain
We're so sorry but you haven’t said a thing in years
We're so sorry Uncle Albert
But with everything that’s happened we're not shedding any tears
(Spoken:)
We're so sorry Uncle Albert
We’re so sorry that you leave the game in pain
We're so sorry Uncle Albert
But your moodiness and manners might cost you the Hall of Fame

Mister Ripken, don’t play baseball, just retire (just retire)
Put your feet up by the fire

March 25, 2001: Albert Belle's degenerative hip condition caused his retirement. An old Paul McCartney song allowed me to poke a little fun at the Orioles as well as Albert.
