Subscription Baseball
by Stephen Jones
So many different subscription services,
Left, right and center,
As I try to follow my team this year.
Baseball’s become more complicated,
And more expensive, too,
Even for someone relaxing at home.
There’s a big problem in all of this.
How is it, now, that America’s pastime—
Its looked-forward-to leisure of summer—
Has evolved like an apocalyptic survivor,
Transformed into MLB’s frenetic cash cow?

“Love is Like a Baseball Game”
And then, 40 years later, these pioneers of Philly soul were captured on video at a census block party in the City of Brotherly Love. What better examples of two gems of the American heritage that we must lovingly pass on to the next generation.
Have a happy and old-school Fourth of July, Bardballers! Stay safe!
