Reviving the Art of Baseball Doggerel
Fernando TatÃs
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.
They both went seven
they both had quality starts
but winner was Yu
One pitched for seven
One got the hook after six
Fun while it lasted
In San Diego, one takes one’s ease
Climate, hot bods, and sea breeze
There’s just one commotion
Locals await with devotion:
That earthquake, Fernando TatÃs.
Maximum ducks upon the pond,
Clad in uniforms brown and blond,
Waddled home, four straight games,
Padres’ bats spewing flames.
Foes’ feathers’ ruffled? Tatis yawned.
