Yankees 3, Red Sox 2

by Stephen Jones

Severino got unlucky,
But looked brilliant anyway.
Judge showed off his arm:
A laser-strike to second base.
And Stanton left Boston staring:
He uncorked 2 home runs.

 

Since 1908

It’s Gleyber Torres:
Youngest dude in MLB
with walk-off home run

 

LA-LA Bank Run

by Stephen Jones

What’s with the LA Dodgers?
Right now, they’re 12 and 17,
And 9 back of that “other” team.

While Arizona has all the numbers,
It seems LA’s gone bankrupt —
And nobody is stepping up.

 

Jeter’s Replacement

by Stephen Jones

It’s hard to replace a Jeter;
Most would say, “Don’t even try.”
Replacing a Hall-of-Famer . . .
Hey, who is this guy?

But right now
The fans are uproarious
The fans are euphorious

All for Didi Gregorious.

 

Iconic

by Stephen Jones

Fly ball to the seats
Cold beer in hand, he snares it
Cap good as a glove
