Kenny Rogers - The Greatest Lyrics

Biggest plot twist of the century

@Gino That's a fantastic video Gino. "He says I am the greatest. That is a fact but even I didn't know I could PITCH LIKE THAT." What a way to look at things. You go kid!

This makes no sense. The lyrics say he stared at his bat, and he's staring at the ball. The final verse is about him pitching in a game, but he's still throwing up a ball trying to hit it. Try again.

Are you that stupid that you cant understand the pitching part

What a great video! What a cute little boy. Reminds me of my son Philip. He was born in 1998 and this song came out in 1999. I am a professional chef and had my own catering business then. I was working in my kitchen alone and called in a request for this song to honor my then 1 year old son. I taped my voice calling it in to the radio station on an old cassette player I had in my kitchen. I still have that tape today. My son is 21 years old and married with two boys of his own now. I will give him this tape. He doesn't know I did that for him. I hope he likes it. I love him very much. Every time I hear this song I start to cry a little as it reminds me of that time 20 years ago when my son was so little and I could hold him in my arms. This was my song for him.

Millenial here, Kenny Rogers is one of the best there ever was, that's all.

I just love he keeps tossing the ball😂😂

Nix the sound effects, or turn them down, otherwise nice vid.

LOST MY DAD IN 2015, HE ALSO LIKED HIM

DAMN AWESOME SONG.

This really is the greatest

I think this as player who is cocky

In memory of my deceased brother who truly was the greatest pitcher of all time. Rest in peace Jared AKA mongo the laser #33 <3

There is nothing more American than this song and video. Nice job.

damn Yankees

First time ever hea ing this song. Really like it

I love how this video's audio quality is 5 star.....but you click on the actual music video..and it's garbage
Thanks so much for uploading this!

Go Yankees

Amazing editing! This was my grandfather's favorite song, and has become one of mine. Thank you for this edit!

Love it!

I thought this was about my nephew Logan. I love this so much!

on his second swing he didnt even throw his ball above his bat

My dad who passed away in 2016 loved this song and I miss him alot

My dad died tonight, when i was 10 or 11 (im 24 now) he told me this was his song for me.

I hope you have the comfort in knowing you will see your dad again.

On this date in 1999 {May 30th} a bomb threat at a Kenny Rogers concert being held in Royal Albert Hall in London, England caused the evacuation of more than 3,000 fans. No bomb was found and no injuries were reported...
At the time Kenny Rogers' "The Greatest" was at position #31 on Billboard's Hot Country Singles chart, three weeks later it would peak at #26 {for 3 non-consecutive weeks} and it spent twenty weeks on the chart...
Between 1977 and 2007 the Houston, Texas native had eight records on the U.K. Singles chart, three made the Top 10 with two reaching #1, "Lucille" for 1 week in 1977 and "Coward of the County" for 2 weeks in 1980...
Besides his above two #1 records, his third Top 10 record was a duet with Dolly Parton, "Islands In The Stream", it reached #7 for 1 week in 1984..
Kenneth Ray Rogers will celebrate his 81st birthday in three months on August 21st, 2019...

I am the greatest

How did he die

One of my favorites baseball songs ever! So sad new generation of baseball players don’t know it! Shame on their parents and coaches

Irene Sotolongo I’m 12 and this is one of my favorite songs

Wonder if Kenny got the idea of the song from a Jerry Clower comic bit? It is a great song and good work on the video.

It's just like life ,it's how you look at it !

I coached the Phillies too and we went 46-4 over a spring fall spring run and came in 2nd-1st-1st. The last season we out scored our opponents 216-44 in a 20 game season

I love this song 😊

This song shows that you can find the good in something that seems bad, if you look at it differently. A strike-out would discourage and frustrate most people. Not this little boy.

What a great story!!!!!

Love! What a awesome boy and aI great song. Thanks for sharing. Sweet Caleb.

Elmer Little League opening day

This song reminds me of my childhood... Thank God i had great support with my friends and family... Was never discouraged to quit anything i set my mind to.

Don't know who he is but let him be blessed our God and saver

He’s probably 14-15 know

This was made in 2006 but it was on YouTube in 2009 so he like 18 now

Used to play this at my little league games

At least he's wearing a Yankees hat

My life story

I've always loved this song.

So proud of YOU and your kid. You are a great father man.

I didn’t see that twist coming. 😎⚾️

Reminds me of my son Geno

He was killed when he was 17

It would be better if he was not wearinga phillies jersey

I'm love Kenny Roger all songs

This song is sooooooo good!!!!! 😍

Not sure I get this video. Ginos commentary says that he shot video in '06. Kenny Rodgers music talks about struggling in baseball. Comments talk about Caleb is mssed? Did this little boy, please explain?

Thanks for sending me back to those wonderful days again ---- even if only for a few minutes !!!

Who the hell is Caleb?

Same with a pool player!  I love Kenny.

All players did our best at all times in the practice and games we did our best.

Where do you live

My moms favorite artist!! I MIss and Love you Mom!

he is undeturred !

This should be Donald Trumps theme song

That's awesome! Lol even I didn't know I could pitch like that! I love it!

sorry for being so slow-- trying to play catch-up here- but is caleb the little boy in the video ?????

Martin Barford I think it's another kid they are talking about because the guy that made this video just did another video with his son who is the same kid in this video here.

good song

i love baseball so much rangers are my favourite iam so ssd the world of baseball have lost a lot of good players this year may you all rest in peace⚾️

True it's true

That sure to cause him, to have a narcissistic personality disorder.
