Best Sox Poems
white against the red
not cowboys and Indians
White Sox and red Sox
Baseball Glove on gloves
Baseball bat, too cold to hold
Hurry, SPRING, Hurry
Inspired by Carol Brown’s “WAITING FOR SPRING “ Contest
Dedicated to the 2010 World Series Champions “Boston Red Sox”
The outfield Yaztremski Lynn and Evans
Is the greatest Red Sox outfield all time
Red Sox never had Seavers nor Ryans
Clemens and Tiant did shine in prime time
Francona is the man that made them shine
Winning two world series with him in charge
They had plenty of reasons to drink wine
Their pitchers are winners and their bats large
Nineteen-Eighty-Six was Buckner’s nightmare
Today Varitek is behind the plate
Helping Papelbon with his scary stare
The mighty Red Sox has somehow changed fate
Boston Red Sox are champions always
They’ll even make a few more double plays
This is a sonnet I wrote a few years ago.
In October of 2004,
“The Curse of the Bambino” was no more.
Boston Red Sox fans had never seen
a World Series victory since 1918.
It seemed ever since Babe Ruth was sold,
only Red Sox fans who were very old,
would ever see their team take it all.
Elusive would be the World Series in the fall.
The teams would win pennants for many years.
However, World Series contests would bring tears
to many a Red Sox fans’ eye.
It seems winning always passed them by.
Since the days of Ted Williams and Carl Yastrzemski,
Red Sox fans would never see
their favorite team achieve victory.
However, in the season of 2004,
the losing ways would continue no more.
They met the National League team from St. Louis.
This team possessed great baseball prowess.
When the Red Sox met the Cardinals at Fenway,
this time, victory would not get away.
Red Sox fans expressed great elation.
They all rejoiced in jubilation.
two-thousand-four
losers no more
Boston Red Sox
out of the rocks
contenders again
beginning to win
three word series wins
no more Babe Ruth sins
now Ortiz calling it quits
won't send the Sox to the pits
for they're stronger than strong
without doing a wrong
Baseball is over I'm sad to say
But the good thing is our sox went all the way.
From the start of Spring Training they decided to re-vamp,
and thats why the Red Sox are the 2007 World Series Champs.
From the begining to the end our team kept us on yhe edge of our seats,
but Red Sox Nation is loyality to say the least.
Bobby sox and penny loafers,
donned the feet of the 1950 teens
as they danced away at the sock hop,
slipping and sliding doing the bop.
Pony tails swayed with the beat,
as poodle skirts twirled with the flow
brightly colored neck scarfs caught the sweat,
crewcut fellas led their dates without fret.
Lights flashed on and off near closing time,
couples slowed down with a waltz,
hugging close and being much in love,
cooing sweet nothings like a loving dove.
February 29, 2020 "Kim Rodriguez DWM Contest"
Game 4 in the World Series sure is something to talk about
In fact, such an exciting game, worth cheers and a shout
In the 5th a Red Sox close call hit to left, almost a home run
As the excitement increases on edge of the seat fun
The close game continues tied 0 – 0 to the 6th inning
Hits, catches, strikes, outs with no-one winning
Then, the dodger’s double and another hit take the lead
The dodger’s fight to win 1 – 0, now plant a seed
The Dodgers then hit a far one with another double
Now, bringing the Red Sox some looming trouble
Suddenly, the Dodgers smash a home run to left field
They take the lead 4 - 0 moving forward as they wield
The stadium is full with a massive rising crowd
In the west, they are cheering very loud
Into the 7th Red Sox fighting hard, bases are full
A home run to the right, pushes the score 4 – 3 like a bull
Their comeback continues in the 8th, another home run, 4 – 4
This is what watching the game is worth waiting for!
The red sox keep pushing forward with what seems an open door
Into the 9th, the Red Sox double, now 5 - 4, push ahead even more
Then, bases are loaded and there is a center field hit
No out is made, standing to cheer instead of sit
Now, 3 runs come in, 8 to 4, as the lead does increase
The Red Sox effort and energy, never does cease
They keep on going, with another hit 9 – 4 now
Then Dodgers come to bat and keep up the fight somehow
The Dodgers hit a home run bringing the score 9 - 6
Now, there are some nervous feelings in the mix
But, the Red Sox succeed with their staying ahead
With a catch in the outfield, an outstanding win before bed!
- GO SOX! -

4 wins
Away
From
The
World
Series
Game 5 starts with a bang, a base hit then home run by Pearce right away
Red Sox are 2 to 0! Go Sox – Yay!
Then the Dodgers come back with a home run on the 1st swing!
Making it 2 to 1, as their fan’s cheers loudly ring
Then a great double play and strike out stops them quick
Their momentum isn’t allowed to stick
Into the 2nd, Dodgers are on base but no runs come in
Then in 3rd Dodgers on base again, fighting to win
Red sox come back in the 4th on base, but stopped too
Their great playing in the 5th, keeps Dodgers behind straight through
In the 6th it’s a Red Sox home run by Mookie Betts, as they rise!
It’s now 3 to 1 with another great home run surprise!
Great playing double play later keeps them on the top this night
It seems the red sox are focused on their goal in sight
Into the 7th can you believe? This time Red Sox - Martinez - hits a home run!
And now the Red Sox are in the lead 4 to 1
Dodger’s good plays keep up the fight, nice
But Red Sox don’t let up, amazing pitching by Price
Then comes the 8th as they reach for their dream in the sky
It’s ANOTHER home run! 2nd for Pearce this night, as they fly!
Large crowds in Boston celebrate and rock the night away
Into the streets they gather and cheer this special day!
Pitcher Kelly enters the game, a strike out master
Brings the Red Sox closer to champs even faster
Into the ninth, pitcher Sale comes into the game
Finishing it off with a strike out into Red Sox Fame!!!
Red Sox are now World Series Champions 5 to 1
Pearce most valuable player award, with 2 home runs
The Red Sox fully earned their way to the top
An amazing team proving, no-one could stop!
CONGRATULATIONS SOX!

It is turning into an all nighter...
Each world series team turn into a fighter
Thirteenth inning and the game still going
Hits, slides and exciting ball throwing
A hurt player, still brings in a run
Putting the Red Sox ahead by one
It is after 1 AM with excitement and fun
Go Sox, for this game to be won! :)
Now, it is after 2AM and time to write more!
A record breaking game with a tie score!
As a home run distance hit just made
But too far to the right, as the crowd does fade
It would have been the winner run for LA
6 hours and 25 minutes into this today!
We are now into the 16th inning!
Still waiting to see who will be winning!
Onward we go...with this historic game.
I hope you enjoy the highlights, just the same
Finalization:
The longest series game ended 18 innings long
Both teams kept up the challenge all along
Dodgers won the game, late on the clock
For tonight, Go Sox! Waiting the next... tick-tock.

Re-Cap Highlights - posted next under Red Sox Champs UPDATE
They were dubbed as being the greatest than ever before
Expectations were high even though they hadn’t begun to score
Huge salaries and talent some say they would be the best
But they couldn’t play together as a team as they were put to the test
Injuries happened, sometimes when they got the call
There was no fire in their heart as they started to fluster and fall
A team is suppose to rise no matter what the challenge or ill weather
Instead they plummeted with the worst baseball meltdown ever
We look up to them as heros but with their failure some cried
Now that the season is over maybe they will search and find there Boston Red Sox pride
Who is to blame for all of this some think that it is very clear
Find your heart in the off season sox players and thank God there will be a next year
The Red Sox flare is now on fire
The excitement certainly does inspire
Another fun game, waiting to see
The World Series is the place to be
Go Sox, we say here in the east!
They’ve earned their way to say the least
Today weather brought a 2nd rainbow to Fenway
Starting memorable times, in history to stay

If I ever did
2004 2007 2013
Believe in this team
Can we control ourselves
And let them play up
To potential
A rallying cry
Goes out
Above the green monster
As Napoli is a hero
Not just to me
