	Legion Ball Marching Song Sheet Music - Lyrics 1953 Written Emerson Yorke (Lyrics), and Solita Palmer (Composer)

	Play ball! The Legion call is heard across the land: Home run! The game is won, Hey, listen to that band! Legion Ball is pledged to teamwork, Win or lose, salute the play; In our pride we must be humble, That’s the Legion way Brothers all in true allegiance, Minds alert to see and know Play the game and not the scoreboard Hi there, team, let’s go! Play ball! The Legion call is heard across the land, Home run! The game is won, Say, Legion Ball is grand! Play ball! The Legion call is heard across the land, Play ball! The game is won, Let’s give the boys a hand!)
