In Heaven With Gene

Among the many people gathered here

Are gifted baseball players of yesteryear

We were amazed at the way they played

Some would dive into bases with no fear

Gene Bennett signed some of these players

He had an uncanny eye as he saw them play

It is sad that Gene is not here with us tonight

In Heaven he will watch his Reds every day

Tom Browning who is tonights guest speaker 

Back on September nineteenth of eighty eight

After a well over two hour rain delay did pitch

A perfect game saw by those that stayed late

So many of the great players we see tonight

We would like to thank them all for their play

Perhaps they can all meet Gene up in Heaven

Where they can play baseball games every day
