Here's the Pitch...
Announcer: " Now he wipes the sweat from his brow,
for it has all come down to now!"
Will the catcher put down the one?
A blazing fastball to defy Newton
and ascend like an aspirin in flight?
Will the catcher put down the two?
A rainbow curve ball to snap across
like a bleached protractor on a breeze?
Will the catcher put down the three?
and invoke the cunning of Bugs Bunny
as its' seams sputter and stall in mid-flight?
Announcer: " He shakes his head once.
He will be hero and dunce.
He rocks back, compact and low
and now he uncurls, and lets it... Go!"
