Way to go, Jahmai Jones:
After two years of patience
In the Yankees organization,
You hit your first home run.
Difference
by Dizzy Dean
Difference between
the old ballplayer
and
the new ballplayer
is
the jersey.
The old ballplayer
cared about
the name on the front.
The new ballplayer
cares about
the name on the back.
My New Hero
by James Finn Garner
Asked to name what was surprising
In the U.S., Shōta, surmising,
Said that by far
‘Twas while in the car
You can turn right on red while you’re driving.
“Shota, what has been the most surprising thing about life in America off the field in your short time here in the USA?”
Shōta: “The biggest surprise for me has been that even on a red light, I can take a right.”

The Old Man and the Suds
by Stuart Shea
Here’s something that freaks me
More than just slightly—
Bob Uecker is ninety!
At an age when few people
Are vivid or lively,
Bob Uecker is ninety!
“I must be in the front rooooow…”
