An Aging Mets Fan Responds

In the exhibition game today 
The Mets are battling the Yankees
I remember the early Mets
Kranepool and Hunt come to mind 
Baseball defines this country 
As it did in the movie "Field of Dreams"
I read in a men's magazine 
that a ballplayer made it into a prestigious poetry magazine 
The years come and go 
A new season starts 
Battle on O Mets 
for your fans are legion 
I'm sure readers out ther e
will
also 
write 
poems - possibly stories 
about the
New York Metropolitans

There are many positives to write about your beloved Mets. I hope my White Sox will give me the same opportunity.
