chuck brodsky – the handshake lyrics
both the ump and the catcher
had their hands on their hips
it was only a handshake
it was a coming to grips
the sun was casting long shadows
as he touched every base
when he rounded the third one
the sun lit up his face
it was only a handshake
well, maybe not quite
it was captured on camera
in black & white
the two of them smiling
as he touches the plate
as he crosses the line
when he knows that he’s safe
it was only a handshake
on opening day
no one knew what would happen
if the fellow could play
it was only a handshake
but it was the first
yes of course there were others
who stood up and cursed
it was only a handshake
on a minor league field
and it wasn’t ’til later
it became a big deal
it was just something that happened
it was nothing he’d planned
the guy hit a homer
so he stuck out his hand
it was only a handshake
a bond between men
teammate to teammate
that’s all it was then
he stood there to greet him
could’ve waited on deck
it was only a handshake
a sign of respect
