The saga of two friends visiting every MLB stadium.
Attention, Wayne La JuanPierre!
by Michael X. Ferraro
Did the lady have too much whiskey?
She was howling for “cute Richie Zisky.”
While the organ played “Charge!”
Annie Oakley loomed large —
There’ve been shots fired at former Comiskey!
The Safety-Off Squeeze
by Michael X. Ferraro
Fan behavior is often quite risky
at the park that was once called Comiskey.
The joint nearly got wrecked
when run by Bill Veeck
and now a patron who snarled, “Don’t frisk me.”
Gut Check Time
by Greg Simetz
Fans remember well
Thompson’s ‘Shot Heard ‘Round the World’
Giants fans cheered
Dodgers fans hurled
But a new shot was heard
at Guaranteed Rate
causing Sox fans to scatter
after only Beer Number Eight
A smuggled gun went undected
In belly fat it was tucked
And when the lard pulled the trigger
even LaRussa woke up
One person was wounded
another was grazed
but the White Sox kept playing
losers still but unfazed
Then peace was restored
when cops ID’d the plump chick
and in court she was sentenced
to life on Ozempic.
Sometimes the Angles Play You
by Michael X. Ferraro
Wade Meckler has had quite a week
of which he might not rather speak.
Two inside-the-parkers:
Luke Raley’s, Bryce Harper’s
Beat the outfielder at Hide-and-Seek.
Raley’s off-the-railing ricochet jobby six days ago
Harper’s elusive longball last night
