To the 700 home run goup
We can add Pujols with a whoop
After that crank
He joins Babe, Bonds and Hank
And our joy in the game we recoup.
Some Embarrassment, Some Riches
by James Finn Garner
The MVP? It must be Ohtani
Hitter and pitcher, limber and brawny
But I won’t hold a grudge
If the voters choose Judge
His supporting cast isn’t nearly as clowny.
Major Market Meltdown
by James Finn Garner
As journos daydream in their queries
On the chance of a Subway Series,
The Metros and Yanks
Wheeze, rattle and clank
And look set to commit hara-kiri.
The Queens Toreador
by James Finn Garner
Nothing makes Mets fans happy as
A bullpen call for Edwin Díaz
The stadium pumps it
For that imperial trumpet
And what matador swagger he has.
Sound ‘em!

Ink With No Sinker
by James Finn Garner
To the list of baseball taboos
We can now add August tattoos
After ink was injected
Chapman’s leg got infected
Though on the DL he’ll hear fewer boos.
