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
