Great Swing

I swung a magazine in a speeding blaze,
and killed five houseflies in three days.
My statistics are good, and for my money,
I'm better than Shohei Ohtunny.

A Special Soul Has Passed Away

  
      Ryne Sandberg has passed away
        For this special soul, baseball prays

      One year he could not give his all every day
        What’d he do? ~ He gave back

Life Is Like Baseball

Anticipation is like hitting a single
Expectation is like hitting a double
Participation is like hitting a triple
Revelation is like hitting a homerun

Rick The Brick

There was a player on our team named Rick
He hit third and was really a great stick
     When on base, he made a strange face
      He thought he could steal any base
Another out, he was slow as a brick

Dodger Game

Though they fell into an abyss,
I don't think it's the apocalypse.
So, nevertheless and all the same, 
I'll watch today's Dodgers game.

Big League Dreams

My doctor warned me not to fall.
Should I give up on big league ball?

Big Mo

When a horrible commissioner
was suddenly fired,
team owners interviewed
Big Mo.
They told him,
You're hired.

Changes he made to the game
were made right away.
Protests which followed
were completely ignored.
And the first things 
removed were all
the scoreboards.

Big Mo outlawed
all sales of meat.

No burgers.
No sushi.
No hot dogs
No barbecued beef.
No sea food harvested
from your favorite reef.

Big Mo said
The Game contained 
too much volatility,
so

Tripping Over Their Clippings

    Chicago Cubs stumble their way to another loss tonight

        ~ tripping over their own press clippings

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

Heaven is For Real

Eight years old in short pants clad, 
I am going with my dad, 
Dodger stadium, surreal - 
but Heaven is for real.

Late at night, lifeguard station,
tenderness and elation - 
first kiss, how does it feel - 
like Heaven is for real.

It seemed I never could persuade,
but, in my dorm, that night she stayed - 
Another

Fame, Glory and Fortune

     Sluggin’ Sammy Sosa socked 609 home-run rockets
        Mark McGwire built paranormal ‘popeye arms’

     Bodacious Barry Bonds broke beloved Babe Ruth’s records
        ‘Stars on steroids,’ they did baseball considerable harm  

 

Batter Swings - It's a High Fly Ball

         Spring home runs are for show
        
           ~ October’s are for all the dough

US Sports Report

When playing basketball
being tall is best it's thought
but that's not all
wearing saggy baggy shorts on the court
needs keen hand-eye coordination
plus being fleet of foot
and have no quibble with dunk or dribble
if through the hoop a Wilson you wish to put.
As for American football
boring from the sideline I find
it's more talk less action
namby-pamby as opposed to

OUT OF THE PARK

[Verse 1]
I was safe inside a wooden box,
Fresh and clean, no scars or knocks,
Never knew what lay outside,
Till someone grabbed me, threw me wide.

[Verse 2]
Then came a crack that broke my soul,
Sent me flying out of control—
Over fences, into the crowd,
Lost in cheers, I’m nowhere now.

[Pre-Chorus]
I didn’t know what I was for,
Just flying faster than

BASEBALL BISCIUITS WONDER

No kitchen home run
Over done
Hardness baked
Teeth couldn’t bite
Those biscuits certainly weren’t light
Totally wonder plight
They were made to throw
Oh know
Unfamiliar with ingredient
Those biscuits should be on the baseball field
For real
Biscuits playball
