A Major League Debut

A pitcher’s job is very difficult in baseball. The other teams batters are what he must stall. Pitchers must keep hitters from making contact with the ball. Too many runs scored can lead to a pitcher’s downfall. It takes skill and luck to be a winner in baseball. Fifteen wins and one loss is not shabby at all. Such a pitcher in the minor leagues has been found. In his first major league game, he is headed for the mound. Tyler Cloyd is making his major league debut tonight. Good luck to him. I hope everything will be alright.

What team does he play for Robert? If he is playing against the Cincinnati Reds I have to say I hope he fails his first Major League game! As you can tell I'm a Reds fan, have been all my life...loved the big Red Machine in the 70's! Your write sure did get me psyched into wanting to watch a good baseball game! I do hope you team does well, and your pitcher! Wondrous poem my friend, Great Work!!
