Max Carey

When I played,
my claim to fame was stealing bases;
I even patented sliding pads
Later,
when I was involved in the girls’ game,
I winced every time a player
had to slide in those skirts
We should have let them wear baseball pants

Brewers vs. Reds, July 24-26

by the Brewer Haiku-er (@brewer_haikuer)

Game 101. Brewers 3, Reds 2

Another tight game
Yeli comes through with walk-off
Seals the game winner

Game 102. Reds 4, Brewers 3

One more crazy game
Yeli with 3-run homer
But not quite enough.

Game 103. Brewers 3, Reds 0

Freddy’s 13 K’s
And Taylor’s 2 run bomb mean
Crew get series win
