Shamelessly stolen from Saturday afternoon’s game thread over at Sons of Sam Horn. Even more appropriate now considering the day Lowrie had.

Jed!
The Man they call Jed!

Oh, He robbed from the pitcher
and he added to the score.
Stood up to the man
and he gave him what for.
Our love for him now
ain’t hard to explain.
The hero of Boston
the man they call Jed.

Our Jed saw the fans’ backs breakin’.
He saw the fans’ lament.
And he saw the Opponents takin’
every dollar and leavin’ five cents.
So he said: “You can’t do that to my people.”
said “You can’t crush them under your heel.”
So Jed strapped on his hat
and in 5 seconds flat
stole everythin’ the pitcher had to steal.

Oh, He robbed from the rich
and he gave to the poor.
Stood up to the man
and he gave him what for.
Our love for him now
ain’t hard to explain.
The hero of Boston
the man they call Jed.

Now here is what separates heroes
from common folk like you and I.
The man they call Jed
he turned ’round his plane
and let that money hit sky.

He dropped it onto our houses
he dropped it into our yards.
The man they called Jed
he stole away our pain
and headed out for the stars!

(Here we go!)

He robbed from the rich
and he gave to the poor.
Stood up to the man
and he gave him what for.
Our love for him now
ain’t hard to explain.
The hero of Boston
the man they call Jed…
