Baseball Reflections On a Rainy Day

Outside my place on the Lower East Side The rain is falling I think the Mets are playing tonight and if they are I will watch those electric warriors battle Someone gave me a T-Shirt with an image of Ebbets Field on it in NYC we have a canyon of heroes and some of the contemporary players will eventually be in it Went to Citifield to see the Mets battle the Padres the other day It was Salute to Israel day! Memories of Koufax hanging in the air in this city which never sleeps

Matthew, what a lovely baseball memory you have created with this poem. Excellent imagery and although I'm not a big baseball fan, it was quite an enjoyable read.
