Fifty runs, two games
London saw baseball physics
Newton was impressed
London (Stadium) Calling
by Stephen Jones
The Yankees and Red Sox
Are sharing a game with the Brits
On June 29th and 30th.
Will it be a Boston Tea Party,
In reverse, or a Yankee
Version of English breakfast?
Yankee Calling Cards
By Stephen Jones
28 home runs
28 games, back-to-back
MLB record
Juiced?
by Stephen Jones
Back-to-back cycles occurring
On two consecutive days — what’s up?
Hasn’t happened in a hundred years.
And homers droppin’ like proverbial flies
In stadiums all over the place — it’s
Exit velo and science-defying distance.
Hey, what is up with the ball these days?
Is it live or juiced? MLB certainly won’t say —
Unless it’s to mimic a Wall Street essay:
“Power is up. There’s a downturn in Ks”.
New Faces?
by Stephen Jones
Baseball is salivating. Why?
It dreams of a new audience–
Maybe the one that will sigh
Over a video game experience,
And not the one that goes to a game
Because, for a while, it stops time.
