Now I see 
    that 
World Series time 
  has arrived 
Seems to me that something 
   is missing there
      The NY Mets 
aren't in it 
   As a fan from their...

One feels so alive 
   at baseball games
   You are a part 
of something there
Something bigger 
than yourself
   As a Mets fan 
I feel myself as 
   a piece in the urban puzzle 
A member of the...

Sitting here listening to 
a baseball game on my radio 
I feel the joy of a new autumn 
The season of the high holidays
Halloween and leaves changing colors

Halloween and leaves changing color
The season of the world series and...

Here is an ode 
    directed at fans 
of the New York 
    Metropolitans 
They won yesterday 
 5 -1 and remain at the top of their division
    That is great! 
Have you not yet checked...

The heat of the 
midday sun keeps me indoors
But soon the day begins to turn into
    poetry 
as evening rolls in 
I see an old friend when 
   I step outside 
We chat about baseball    
The New...

The mighty N.Y. Metropolitans 
went down to defeat 
A small matter compared to 
the terrible tragedy in Nepal 
But I think it still matters 
The damn Yankees defeated them 
I am from Brooklyn 
where memories of the Brooklyn Dodgers 
still resonate 
and the sun shines...

A fairyland fable is a magic table floating around but nit with a rallying cry. That is purely reserved for several synchronised cruise ships whose sunbathing missions thwart many a delivery driver. It is with great interest that an interest is neither a monetary aim...

In the exhibition game today 
The Mets are battling the Yankees
I remember the early Mets
Kranepool and Hunt come to mind 
Baseball defines this country 
As it did in the movie "Field of Dreams"
I read in a men's magazine 
that a ballplayer made it into a...

Friends with the great Hank G. 
Quite a good hitter himself 
Announced for the NY Metropolitans 
I support all the New York teams 
   The Amazings 
a team which 
   has won two championships 
Ralph Kiner 
Announcer - man who dated...

As in many,many poems and novels 
Baseball is something that defines the American people 
Thinking of the season ahead
Realizing that I did not  watch my health carefully  when young 
Happy to make it to 63 
And happy to watch the New York Metropolitans...

I was a catcher 
"for a little while"
I did alright 
The whole story 
is "for a little while"
   as day become night 
I have been a loyal fan 
of the NY Mets
So place your bets 
As last season they held first base 
"for...

Been a fan of the New York Metropolitans 
since the beginning
The early teams were hapless
Leading Casey S to ask
"Can anybody here play the game?"
This year they started out 10 and 1 - 
a record rarely matched in baseball 
New manager , new hopes
They managed to...

I first fell in love with baseball back when I was 8 yrs old when I went to a Yankee game and was very fortunate to have gotten to see the great Mickey Mantle play. It was a school class trip, and the highlight of...
