Georgia pols made it harder to vote
So the All-Star Game traveled remote
No grand lib’rul vision
A mere corporate decision
Cuz MLB’s anything but woke.
Remembering
by Jim Siergey
I must have seen Hank Aaron play
at Wrigley Field in nineteen
fifty nine
But it was my first baseball game,
I knew little about the sport
at the time
But I did see him hit number
seven hundred and fifteen
on the TV
in nineteen seventy four so
I am happy to have that
memory
For the Record
by Hilary Barta
Remember when he passed Babe Ruth
And rounded bases, chased by youth
But don’t forget
While under threat
Of death — remember, that’s the truth.
A as in Aaron
by Jim Siergey
Despite his frame so lank
You could take it to the bank
That balls into seats he’d yank
Adieu, Sir Hammerin’ Hank
Unkind October
by Fred Lovato
Four time zones apart
Braves embarrassed, Dodgers stunned
Autumn can be cruel
