Sports Transcend Time Premiere Contest Winner

How wonderful life is and what sports mean to me For others, something to do at night to see An escape from the world and free from mental exhaust As an outburst of screams, until my voice is lost Feeling intimately under a spell of inhibitions Abandoning of normal restraints and conditions Feeling intimately involved in the game Teasing, defeat, in a moment of fame It goes beyond bringing out the best, and the worst Long after the game is played my team is still first Bringing out the real life primal in me and my chums fun And a scaffold shared between father and son 5/14/2017

Isn't it great to write sports poetry when you live in the city with the best team in all of baseball? Great poem about losing yourself in the moment, Eve. Best of luck in the contest!

You have expressed the voice of a true fan in your wonderful poem Eve. No matter what, their team is first and sports definitely are a bridge between many.

Hi Chris, when I'm out there cheering for my kids and grandchildren, I am the loudest voice out there and they get a little embarrassed. Thank you for the compliment ~*
