Baseball Memories On a Snowy Evening

The green field spread out in front of us The smell of beer, pretzels, hot dogs The cheers from the crowd memories flood through me on this desolate winter day Slush on the ground Cars whizzing by I sit here on New York's fabled Lower East Side and remember good times at the ballpark Mays, Shamsky, Kranepool and above all Stengel Names which light up the sky for thousands of fans in this metropolis - Baghdad on the Hudson my home - NYC
