Reviving the Art of Baseball Doggerel
Did they tell me how to pitch to Ted Williams?
Sure they did.
It was great advice,
very encouraging.
They said he had no weakness,
won’t swing at a bad ball,
has the best eyes in the business,
and can kill you with one swing.
He won’t hit anything bad,
but don’t give him anything good.
Each June, ball teams celebrate
Their fanbase’s diversity
It’s just marketing, sure,
But also visibility
All teams, that is, save the Rangers
Who’ve never held a Pride night
Dallas likes to keep things orderly,
Straight and oh-so white
I once thought things were big in Texas
That cliche’s an inanity
Big hats, big boots, big tits and hair
But a puny view of humanity.

Be sure to catch The Baseball Project on their July 2024 tour through Texas and the Midwest.
Angels out to prove
that even without Shohei
they’re still woeful team
The Yankees swept the Astros
Thanks in part to Juan Soto
And his late-inning heroics.
I know, I know: one weekend
Doesn’t make a whole season,
But there are smiles in the Bronx.
