Mark Buehrle’s Perfect Game (In the Fewest Possible Syllables)
by James Finn Garner
Seven and
Twenty men
Set down in
Succession.
A brilliant
Feat, made of
Equal parts
Skill, luck, and
DeWayne Wise.

Name Recognition
by Rube Goldberg
But here the son broke in and said,
“These guys are new to me.
I never heard of Taft or Hughes
Or Bryan, honestly.
I never saw those queer old names
When looking through the score,
I’d understand you better, Pa,
If you mentioned John McGraw.”

Bunt
by Doug Fahrendorff
Don’t tip your hand too soon
Like poker deception is key
The infield deep
Confident you’re swinging away
Push the ball
To the right side
Past the pitcher
Out of the box
Fast
Safe!
