World Series - Game 1
The bat is in Freddy Freeman's grip.
He's injured, but can he let it rip?
With two outs, bases loaded,
first pitch, his bat exploded -
grand slam! Freddy takes a four-base trip.

Mlb World Series
I woke up this morning,
Believe me, I was ready to play.
For those of you
Who are unaware
Today's a gargantuan day.
Electrifying excitement
Alive and in the air.
There's nothing else quite like it
For anyone to compare.
Pine tar, rosin fragrance
And that of fresh cut grass.
The end of the baseball season
Has now come to

Sandlot World Series
Some walked, others biked
As we gathered at the park
There was Jimmy, Peewee
Ricky, Billy and Mark
Neighborhood boys
From blocks around, they'd descend
For the Sandlot World Series
It was friend against friend
There were seven to a side
The bat was tossed to Bob
It was fist top of fist
'til a thumb crossed the knob
Back and forth went the score
Our pride made

World Series Wins
Yankees twenty- seven times
maybe some of them were crimes
Cardinals won eleven
taking their fans to heaven
and the Red Sox won eight
I do appreciate
a few teams tied with five
keeping the love alive

A Beltway World Series
Baltimore fans will not be popping a champagne cork.
The Orioles were defeated by the Yankees from New York.
Likewise, a World Series is not what Washington fans will see.
The St. Louis Cardinals trounced the Nationals from DC.
This year, a Beltway World Series will not be reality.
Once again, a Championship in the capital is a fantasy.
However, there

The 2008 World Series
Here in October of 2008,
all Phillies fans are feeling great.
The boys in pinstripes just won it all.
They are the champions of baseball.
The team’s play did certainly enthrall.
On Broad Street, everyone stands tall.
For just the second time in history,
the Phils won the ultimate victory.
Four games out of five, they beat Tampa Bay.
The Rays are the team

World Series of Poets
A.R. Ammons on the mound
Auden on the mound
Ginsberg on 1st
Frost on second
Carl Sandburg on third
Ferlinghetti at short
Right Field - Wordsworth
Left field - Shelly
Blake - Center field
Shakespeare - Catcher
Have I dropped enough
names for you?
What's so bad about
being a name dropper?
The game is on
Unfortunately my team
is losing
But with poetic talent
They may yet

World Series
A man goes through
A series of gains and losses
To finally realize what...
Means the world to him.
