Reviving the Art of Baseball Doggerel
Take me out of the ball game
Take me off of the mound
Trade me for prospects and some Prozac

Francona said it’s a shame
For it’s clear to see I can pout
at the old ball game!

Harmon Killebrew
thought that he’d eschew
the art of the sacrifice bunt.
He’s a touchdown guy, so why punt?
I am the glove of Kevin Kiermaier
and I am where triples go to retire.
I race across gaps, yawn at warning tracks
and make sluggers pay “The Willie Mays Tax.”
Dodgers executive Fresco Thompson once described Willie Mays’ glove as a place where “triples go to die.”
