Reviving the Art of Baseball Doggerel
I hear some say
the wrong Ferrell is in the Hall of Fame
I think it’s a shame Wes isn’t in,
but I think I belong as well
Remember,
I was the catcher on the ’45 Senators
Sure, I led the league in passed balls that year,
but we had four knuckleballers in the starting rotation,
and that alone merits my inclusion
This World Series is done,
And how was it won?
As Willie Nelson had sung —
“On the Road Again.”
The home teams were way too hospitable.
And Justin Verlander? Quite hittable.
From Greinke to Howie
Game 7 was Wowie
*And those boobirds spat fire political.
The Nats appeared losing their jive
With the fans wond’ring, “Will they survive?”
They shook away gloom
And commenced then to bloom
In the end winning four games of five!
