I'll protect the first-base 
line to the death!
!سأحمي خطّ القاعدة الأولى باستماتة
Ich kümmere mich um die erste Base.
Wirf also ganz beruhigt, Neuling.
¡Yo defiendo la primera base!
¡Yo defiendo la primera base!
Je défendrai la 1re base
jusqu’à la mort !
Farò la guardia alla linea di prima base
a costo della vita!
Vou proteger a primeira
base com minha vida!
Я буду защищать первую базу любой ценой!
