Best Big League Poems

This a phrase I hear a lot;
Who’s your man, who you got?
Mine’s the man who at games end;
When death has crept up to his cot;
In peace will dream his final dreams;
And these would be those fateful scenes;

A man, a boy, with ball and gloves;
Their eyes...

When the lights go out
An the curtains close 
Everyone goes home what do you do
Do you stay behind to study your lines 
And make a fool 
Out of the people that never believed in you 
Do you go home to talk on the phone
Or play...

One, two, three strikes your out
Playing our rivals, another epic bout

The stress of playing inning after inning
Sweaty hands and butterflies are all beginning

It's the start of the seventh inning stretch
A Coke and peanuts are a great fetch
 
Bottom of the ninth, MAN! we're behind one...

There once was a boy who didn't know what he wanted to do when he grew up

The taller he grew
The more he wondered what to do

People would ask "what do you want to do, or who do you want to be?"

This little boy just never...

My Continuous Incredible Poem Series is
dedicated to Will Rogers, Robert Frost and
Ogden Nash who I forever will admire and
use as examples to follow. With them as 
examples how could any of your poems
possibly go wrong. Here is the introduction.

There were many queries into my poem...

having grown up with a smoker for a father
i have most certainly inhaled my fair share of second-hand
so i never fell for the allure of big tobacco & the
kool kids
still, there have been parts in my life where i have found myself
chewing---
i must admit,
large quantities...

Small stadium built in the late forties,
minor-league once, but has been left behind,
built with girders and backless, wooden seats,
a local relic of an older time.
The players look so young, barely can shave,
the pitching is rough and some balls are dropped,
a few have been drafted by...

When I was fifteen my friend 'Riff' and I
started our very own garage band,
and for the first year we truly stank,
but I've always been a dedicated man.

I pushed Riff, and we quickly got better,
soon started writing songs of our own,
got a drummer, 'Bomber,' and bassist,...

Absent was the word I remember as meaning
not present in school.

Now that term represents way more in my life.
Being manic depressive there are certain levels 
of insanity you deal with daily.

I'm now entering the big league.

Just think of being in the worst possible spot
mentally but...

Holy crappola
Every day that goes by
Gets tougher to remember
To do up my fly

Constantly happening
I'll be flying low
The girlies do gawk
As I put on a show

I'm totally oblivious
To the reason they titter
Imagine they find me
A big league hitter

No idea why
They look down below
I AM well endowed
Must...

He is a San Diego native southpaw.
One of the best young pitchers I ever saw.
The Phillies chose him first in 2002.
In 2006 was his big league debut.
He has made his presence felt with all the teams.
He can baffle the best of hitters, it seems.
With wins...

You took over play at first base one day,
and showed everyone you were there to stay.
Your big league career no one could delay;
you were too talented for Triple-A.
An imposing sight, standing at the plate
with a powerful swing pitchers would hate.
When you were at bat, we...

Foxes found themselves at home 
In a match they could dial in by phone 
A villain came into their midst 
Trying to cure themselves from the bottom half EPL cyst 
Noted as the visiting team the villains knew they were going to be creamed 
As...

Midway twenty twenty, 
we are keeping a fair distance,
We somehow went back to nineteen eighteen
on paper-boat with supersonic speed,
A virus showed again up 
From Northern hemisphere
and went viral, an outbreak, now a pandemic!

We stay at home to beat it.
We have been holed-up in our closets,
It's...
