Chicago Baseball A to Z (Part 2)

By Jim Siergey and James Finn Garner

I is for Ivy
Adorning the wall
So lovely to see
As it swallows fly balls.

J is for Javy
Last name Baez
All around the base paths
He doth flaez.

K is for strikeout
For some obscure reason
One more quirk to chew on
Through the long summer season.

L is for Luis
The Sox rookie tank
Based just on upside
This youngster made bank.

M is for Moncada
Oh, how we can go on
About all the talent
Possessed by young Yoan.

N is for Nico and Nick
Who wait in the wings
Two keystone prospects
What’ll the future bring?

O is for O
Or goose egg or zero
If the bullpen supplies these
They’ll be our heroes.

P is for peanuts
And popcorn and pfranks
A good balanced diet
For which we give thanks.
