The Boys of 3 Summers Ago

by James Finn Garner

When the ‘Stros went to Chavez Ravine,
L.A. homies got nasty and mean
Inflatable cans
Fistfights in the stands
Apropos, I s’pose, in 2018.

 

All-Star Clerihews 4: Frontier Justice

Fernando Tatís
Hits home runs with ease
But you should watch him try
To watch telenovelas and not cry.

Bo Bichette
Once used a baguette
To swing at a pitched ball
Left fans in stitches in Montreal.

Max Muncy
Gets pretty punchy
When you ask why his name
Sounds like a gumshoe in a board game.

Gerrit Cole
Would sell his soul
For the secret of eternal youth
And to eat hot dogs like Babe Ruth.

 

All-Star Clerihews 3: Thundering Fury

Mike Trout
An All-Star, but out,
A parallel, I suppose,
To his post-season career with the Halos.

Ozzie Albies
Likes to trek through the tall trees
And ask the numberless stars
How many Ozzies there are.

Carlos Rodón
Has got it goin’ on
Non-tendered after 2020
Now mowing down batters like el jefe.

Buster Posey
Doesn’t want to be nosey
But just wants to know that
You’re gonna finish eating that?
