Another Season - Smokey Memories

The Brooklyn Cyclones now represent the borough of Brooklyn where I spent my formative years Memeories of the long - departed Dogers Linger over Keyspan park like clouds Duke Snyder, Jackie Robinson, Sandy Koufax, Carl Furillo and the rest are engraved in the borough's heart The Brooklyn Cyclones now represent the borough of Brooklyn I came into this world during the legendary 1955 World Series When the Dogers finally triumphed Let's hope the Cyclones can follow in theit footsteps Bringing joy to Brooklyn aka Kings County

By the way I dance, only on occasions. Like your poem I just read. about this poem: I don't think much is smoky about your memories.. I think you hold on to them pretty well. I'm glad you are finding joy once again,, in this time and age. I don't know who's Jackie Robinson, but I have sure heard and read lots about him... I think his nickname is Smoky Robinson... lol..i don't know... another great one,, gonna head out already! Good night xox~LINDA

I see you are a dedicated fan Matthew, I remember someone taking me to a baseball game and I fell asleep! Needless to say, I wasn't invited again. I guess you still love the games by the sound of it.
