Who is this underdog? He’s a ball player who battled drugs and booze to become a hero for all He’s a team who fought against racism to become a team remembered by everyone He’s a ghetto kid who grows up to become a force of the NFL every fall He’s an Asian Harvard grad who showed everyone in the NBA how to have fun He’s a tiny college from Indiana who showed that even the small teams can make a title run-twice He’s a grocery store shelf stocker that proved all his critics wrong and became a champ He’s the team went from the bottom to the top-cold as ice He’s the team that shut up the “experts,” teaching courage like it was a camp He’s the fighter that beat up and slammed down the best He’s the lowly rag-tag bunch who shocked the world-in a semifinal nonetheless He’s the mentally ill boy who became the hero of an island above all the rest He’s the colored man who became the best model of ethics in baseball-without even making the season a mess He is every man’s ultimate dream He is God’s team
