If Game 5 Were Building a House

by James Finn Garner

Zac Gallen was a bureaucrat picking nits,
Denying every hitter a permit.

Eovaldi was a mason on the foundation
That threatened every minute to fall in.

After delays and frustrating slumber
Corey Seager finally brought the lumber.

Semien’s swing closed the door on the thing
And Sborz came on to nail the roof on.

Now old man Bochy can move in his boxes
And make fishing plans with Mike Maddux.

Au Revoir, Dusty

Au revoir, Dusty
In you did we trusty
Smart, passionate, steady
Toothpick at the ready
Giant, Astro, Dodger, Cub
You always improved a club
You have nothing more to prove
And lots of grandchildren to love
Raise a glass of Baker Wine
And celebrate the good times.
