Lucas Duda has been a Tampa Bay Ray for only 28 games, but he has already hit eight home runs and endeared himself to the Rays faithful. And thanks to having an incredibly pun-friendly last name, it is with great honor that we present an Ode to Duda (to the tune of “Camptown Races”):
Home run lovers sing this song,
Du-da, Du-da
He makes those fences not seem long,
Oh the Du-da day
Goin’ to trot all night,
Goin’ to trot all day
I bet my money on a three-run shot,
Someone say versus the Jays
See those homers on a ten-mile track,
Du-da, Du-da
Round the basepaths then repeat,
Oh the Du-da day
Goin’ to trot all night,
Goin’ to trot all day
I bet my money on a three-run shot
Someone say versus the Jays
I went to the game expecting a duel,
Du-da, Du-da
I came back home with three souvenirs,
Oh the Du-da day
Goin’ to trot all night,
Goin’ to trot all day
I bet my money on a three-run shot
Someone say versus the Jays
Oh, the liner to left or the moonshot to right,
Du-da, Du-da
Even against an ace, it’s homers all night,
Oh the Du-da day
