An Unrevised Poem About Baseball

I watched as the Mets slammed the opposition 10 -2 Been a fan for years Played catcher for a little while as a kid Watching sports is a great way to take your mind off The terrible things we see in the news Make a little money from writing and check my stocks periodically Some people think ballplayers are overpaid They all make more than the President does But sports are good for male bonding Any females who love sports poetry Please write me!

G'day Matthew … enjoyed your poem and the similarity to this sporting nation down under. However baseball is very minor. NFL virtually non existent. NHL no; but basketball is quite popular. AFL; Rugby League, Cricket and Soccer with Rugby Union and Netball are the professional sports - thank you Matthew - Lindsay
