Sock it to ’em, Tigers

by James Finn Garner

The transistor radio
I smuggled into
Sister Geraldine’s class
Broadcast heavenly images

The centerfielder moved to short
The old lion roaming in right
The mighty arms of Willie the Wonder
The soulful stare of Lolich
The plate protected by Freehan
(None shall pass)

All the saints and martyrs
Bringing a miracle to Motown
Narrated by the voice of God
In his sweet Georgia drawl
