Poem
The players take the field Pitchers and catchers warm up Pre-game practice is underway The coaches and umpires discuss the rules The coaches shake hands and walk away; The home-plate umpire yells "let's play ball" The game is underway. The pitcher takes the pitching mound Kicking and digging his cleats into the ground The catcher sits behind home-plate That fast ball he anxiously awaits. A few practice pitches back and forth Just pitcher and catcher; The team is ready despite the weather It really doesn't matter, The umpire calls for the first batter. Up to the plate the batter steps Into his batting stance he's set The pitcher throws an energetic curve ball The batter swings at the ball He misses; "Stike One" the umpire yells Deeper the batter digs into the ground The batter swings at the next ball that flies from the mound. Crack! The 80mph fast ball flies deep into center field The outfielder runs to make the out Fielding the ball; The center fielder dives, The batter is out. The game is just about done The home team is down by just one run Desginated hitter steps up to bat Putting on a helmet and removing his hat, He steps up to the plate Digging his cleats deep into the ground Standing close to the plate. Here comes the final pitch A knuckle ball with a slight twist Oh no, it's beginning to mist The batter swings following through to the ball The bases are loaded The crowd is going wild Contact, a high-fly ball; It's going, going, gone A grand slam! The home team has won. The teams line up Sportsmen-like they shake hands A job well done Gatorade to re-quench their thirst Our team has moved into first. The coach says "Ok boys, take a knee", "It's time to announce todays MVP". To the batting cages we go Even if our parents say "no" The coach sits back and says "Let's go!" This is the story of a baseball player's legacy.
