While Bardball can’t salute all the greats
Playing now, it’s not up to debate:
To be esteemed in our verse
You could do a lot worse
Than smash a foul up in your dates.

Get a Grip
by the Brewer Haiku-er (@brewer_haiku)
The MLB wants to ban sticky stuff
But pitchers? “We just want to grip enough!”
The umps will investigate
Every Spider Tack hiding place
And come down on the sticky men tough.

Spider Tacky
by Hilary Barta
Some pitchers who try and get tricky
Will switch to a substance that’s sticky
When hitters allege
This gives them an edge
Hurlers bitch that the league is too picky.
“You Can’t Possibly Think That”
by James Finn Garner
When the ASG did Manfred abort,
“Job creators” took baseball to court.
“Irreparable harm”?
The judged marked their smarm
And mocked how their case came up short.
“To say that the legal underpinnings of this lawsuit are weak and muddled is an understatement.”
Gorilla Wonders of the Diamond!
By James Finn Garner
To make every contest a thriller
Manfred should use these gorillas
Such power! Such poise!
These four-handed boys
Would grab fans from Maine to Manila.
