Yankees win 8-6
A rookie Bird plucks the O’s
Baltimore flightless
Grand Slam Wandoo
by the Village Elliott
For the Giants Keystone Combo
Tomlinson hit first home run today,
Wham-Bam, hit a grand slam, Cha-Cha’s way.
Crawford’s first home run, too,
Was a Grand Slam Wandoo,
One more Giants keystone double play.
Astros 15, Yankees 1
by Stephen Jones
In the beginning . . . of this baseball history,
Yankee Ivan Nova–he was not so super–
Got burned by Houston’s big bang theory.
Others followed–they couldn’t stop it either.
The Astros’ rain of runs, a meteor shower
Of them, had done in the old Pinstripers.
Yankees 4, Twins 3

Coming-out party
Rookie Greg Bird home-runs twice
The Baby Bomber
We Don’t Only Have Eyes for You
by Jim Siergey
Is Starlin out tonight?
Is his future cloudy or bright?
Cubs think that he’s way overdue
Fans’ hopes are all high
They see that pie in the sky
Cubs like Baez and Russell, too
We all know the choice is a hard one
Shortstop’s a crowded avenue
He’s still here, some ask “Why?”
His batting average once was high
But now it’s disappearing from view
And Joe doesn’t have eyes for you
So, is Starlin out tonight?
Will Adam or Javy be right?
Will he no longer wear Cubbie Blue?
