Getting no-hit thrice in a season?
Cleveland fans cry, “Stop the bleeding!
Let baseball wind down
We’ll turn to the Browns…”
Wait, wasn’t fandom supposed to be pleasing?
Getting the Signals Clear
by James Finn Garner
Upset with his team getting booed
Javy Baez gave thumbs down, how rude!
Of course from the stands
The jaded Mets fans
Returned a gesture equally crude.
The Boys of 3 Summers Ago

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.
Bryant, Baez and Rizzo
by Hilary Barta
An infield that played like a dream
Three winners that made a great team
Now last-minute trades
But the past never fades
They’ll live out their days in esteem.

Tech No!
by Hilary Barta
Imagine if baseball installs
Machinery making the calls
An umpire inhuman
With robot acumen…
Who’ll argue the strikes and the balls?
