To the wall, back he goes, with a twirl
Grabs the ball, strikes a pose, then the hurl
. Though the term’s not “correct”
. I’ll be firm and direct:
I’m appalled Perkins “throws like a girl”

Rauuuuul Be Seeing You

by David Bellel

Rauuuuul be seeing you;
In all the old, familiar home run places
That this Yankee heart of mine embraces;
All day through.

Bald man you still can play
In that big ball park across the way;
Watch our numbers swell
The sense of glee
At last Cash chose well.

Rauuuuul be seeing you;
In every summer’s day made gay;
But I don’t really mean that way;
Even though Obama says that’s okay
Games once lost will now be won
And when the season’s through;
I’ll be looking at first place
And I’ll be thanking you.

The Hall

by Doug Fahrendorff

Cooperstown
On Lake Otsego
Cooper’s “Glimmerglass”
A town
Where Norman Rockwell
Would feel at home
Perfect location
For baseball’s shrine
Plaques of boyhood heroes
Artifacts from games
Long past
An afternoon
At Doubleday Field
Soaking up sun and history
This trip
Priceless
