27 Up, 27 Down
A tribute to one of sports' biggest rareties: the perfect game
America's pastime's seen it all
So much happens in the game of baseball
But these words are hardly said from spring to fall:
"27 up, 27 down"
* * *
Nine innings is all it takes
Three outs per frame; no mistakes
Immortality and fame are the stakes
27 up, 27 down
* * *
Since this game began its play
23 such occurrences have been on display
The only times announcers say:
"27 up, 27 down"
* * *
And when the final out is made
When all of the innings have been played
The celebration and memories never fade
27 up, 27 down

How, Too
Many people wonder how, too. You are not alone, and I am an expert. I will teach you how, too! First, you need to remit a small application fee and fill out an application describing the nature of your financial situation and how often payments will be made, as this will have great bearing on how well I teach you how, too.
