Short Babe Ruth Poems

Babe Ruth
To tell the truth
Was as good a hugger
As a slugger...

it looked surreal like 
a Babe Ruth candy bar...

What is truth?
Home-run by Babe Ruth!

What is a lie?
Smashed like a fly!

Give the negatives a shove
Believe in Jesus and the dove!...

The devil lies - catch him fast
Before the pain begins to last!

Worship Jesus (and God) the only truth
Hit a run like Babe Ruth!

Confess all your sin
Then you will always win!

Be faithful forever more
Until you reach heaven's shore!...

What's my mom's belief in God?
How she seemed like such a fraud!

In a way she's pretty cool
Not to label me a fool!

To travel down the road of life
Was it her (and Dad) who created strife?

To think that they know spiritual truth
Like a home-run by Babe Ruth!...

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...

Tinker Evers and Chance
their double play romance

Ty Cobb terror on bases
also with many faces

if Babe Ruth played today
can't imagine his pay

a D-H for sure
his homeruns were pure

baseball and fantasy
for me it is easy

baseball's my desire
my juices on fire...

   A blazing orange sun emits sparks
     setting against a blue-sky backdrop

   A surge of electricity in the soul
     as Pavarotti crosses the stage

   The crowd rises to its feet as one for the final time
     as the great Babe Ruth hits number 714

    I take your hand in mine......

Snow Angel


headlong into clouds

babe dug tunnels in the snow

smiling from heaven



……a day like today….. sun reflecting off the icy snow, about 5-below-zero….my animal best 
friend (Golden Retriever)  “Babe Ruth”  thought he was in heaven on earth!....now he’s in 
heaven smiling…

Babe Ruth

Perhaps you feel you will NEVER know how to LET in
Even those who love you THE most for FEAR of
Repeating the past. This fear OF friends 
STRIKING OUT at you can KEEP them at bay.
I know YOU have the power and the wisdom to persist.
Strength FROM within will help when PLAYING through
THE end of the GAME, and you will be whole again....

May we be blessed to acknowledge all the wonders in our life
that have, for us, thus far accrued…
and to begin each day with a word of thanks…
and thoughts of gratitude.

Today I’m thankful for baseball 
and the wisdom of Babe Ruth…
(Many old-timers will remember his name)
He said, ‘never let the fear of striking out
keep you from playing the game.’...

I dreamt of Babe Ruth
in Howard Johnsons' 
lighted pool doing

the backstroke so brilliantly.
No bats lying around
anywhere. warm water

reflected dorsal pecs, 
beautiful biceps, round
spiral muscles fanning

along so softly.
Finally finding the nerve
to say: Babe! your a

ballplayer; Sultan of swat.
Smiling at me timidly:
I'm a ballplayer and a

a swimmer. He replied
calmly gliding away.
A swan in the moonlight....

Do they play baseball in heaven.
Wonder if you know if they play baseball in heaven?
Think they have a baseball field in the clouds?
Does guys like Mickey mantle and Frank Robins on.
Does the great Babe Ruth hit home runs?
Are there teams like the Yankees or the braves up there.
I know God must have a team he likes. 
I want to find out if they are the angels.
Do you think that I will be able to play with the cool ones?
I know they must have a hall of fame  with guys like Joe and Stan...
