BALTIMORE
The Orioles soared…
Does anyone believe they
Can fly high again?
BOSTON
With no Valentine,
Can the Olde Towne Team win back
Bleeding Boston hearts?
NEW YORK
Old Yankee soldiers
May not die, but do tend to
End up disabled
TAMPA BAY
Rays fans hold out hope
That good pitching can make up
For that weird infield
TORONTO
When blue jays make noise
It signals that something is
Wrong in the forest
BALTIMORE ORIOLES
They’ll win every game
Just so long as every game
Is tied after nine
Catching conundrums.
Baseball . . . each hard pitch unique.
It’s those odd numbers.
But numbers do count.
Penciled now/then each summer.
Baseball memories. . . .
