Do the Right Ng

by James Finn Garner

All the brass knew from the beginning
Of the dash and the brains of Kim Ng
Took the last 30 years
To get past their fears
Bet they’re ordering glass for a new ceiling.

 

The Real Ng

by Hilary Barta

The chance of advancement seemed dim
All those who preceded a “him”
She bided her time
A thirty-year climb
Meet General Manager Kim.

 

Playoff-ful

by Hilary Barta

Cubs batters did not get it done
They ended up scoring one run
Deny or admit it
They just couldn’t hit it
And the post-postseason’s no fun.

 

The Proud Tripper

by Michael X. Ferraro

Just a few years back, the kid was at Prom.
Cut to: First day in the bigs! Dad and Mom
Interviewed in the stands
As their boy Isan
Uncoils. “Did we just homer off DeGrom?!”
