At American Family Field
We used to be huge baseball fans (The Yankees, but, of course!) And followed all their games and cheered Until our throats were hoarse. Our fervor somehow waned and now We couldn’t even name The players on the team, although We still enjoy the game. While visiting Milwaukee, We learned there would be a match Of the Brewers and the Pittsburgh Pirates Which we (pun!) could...

Premium Member Heaven is For Real
Eight years old in short pants clad, I am going with my dad, Dodger stadium, surreal - but Heaven is for real. Late at night, lifeguard station, tenderness and elation - first kiss, how does it feel - like Heaven is for real.

OUT OF THE PARK
[Verse 1] I was safe inside a wooden box, Fresh and clean, no scars or knocks, Never knew what lay outside, Till someone grabbed me, threw me wide. [Verse 2] Then came a crack that broke my soul, Sent me flying out of control— Over fences, into the crowd, Lost in cheers, I’m nowhere now. [Pre-Chorus] I didn’t know what I was for, Just flying faster than...

CASEY’S SECOND CHANCE!
The outlook wasn’t brilliant for the Mudville nine that day; The score stood four to two, with but an inning left to play.
