Listen to the Wind

"The answer is blowin' in the wind" ~ Bob Dylan, 1963

One fine day, I sat upon my hammock, swayin'.
I heard the breeze, and asked, "what are you sayin?"
 
    "Would you truly like to know?", he said with a gust, 
     "I'll tell you if I must", stirring up

Alone In A Crowd

There she was all by her lonesome 
Forty-thousand people were there
Sitting in the stands by herself 
She got hit with a foul baseball 
They carried her on a stretcher 
So that they can attend to her 
As they approached the exit door 
She got hit by another ball

Lucky Catch

unbelievable
     last ball game he’d ever see
          grand slam ball for dad

My Person

My Person

I can't wait for the day 
When my Person 
Get me 
Like he asks 
Hey, how was your day ?
Saying all kinds of things 
I like him to say 
Compliments I dig those 
Be my man 
Let it show 
I want that real glow 
The butterflies ?? 
By my boy 
Ooooohh you give me

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

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
