At American Family Field

We used to be huge baseball fans (The Yankees, but, of course!) And followed all their games and cheered Until our throats were hoarse. Our fervor somehow waned and now We couldn’t even name The players on the team, although We still enjoy the game. While visiting Milwaukee, We learned there would be a match Of the Brewers and the Pittsburgh Pirates Which we (pun!) could catch. The Pirates pitcher, we found out, Had quite an arm to wield, So my husband got us tickets And we headed to the field. Their ballpark is a beauty And we joined in with the crowd Rooting for their favorite Brewers As instructed – very loud! At inning six, a race is held; Five “sausages” compete. The winner was Chorizo, Bratwurst,* sadly, in defeat. The final score was 4-2, The Brewers with the prize, The Pirate pitcher taken out, Which was a big surprise. Despite not being N.L.**fans, We had a lot of fun, For certain sayings hit the mark And “When in Rome…” is one. *The others include Hot Dog, Italian and Polish **National League
