If you want to jazz your game up a bit
Try out a new base-running mitt.
X has many styles
Sure to bring smiles
And give traditionalists a fit.
Battle on the Brazos
By James Finn Garner
A shootout between Rangers and ‘Stros
Is a beaut for old Texas foes.
Is Scherzer all right?
Is it St. Crispin’s Night?
Which squad will become Texas Toast?
An Ode to Leody
by James Finn Garner
A master thief is Leody Tavares
Stealing home runs from over tall fences
Think one is long gone?
Oh hun, you’d be wrong
He’s the David Niven of Texas’ defenses.
Topple Heavy
by Hilary Barta
Dave Kingman would give it his all
Each powerful swing at the ball
But, missing, he’d spin
And, to his chagrin
Would teeter off balance and fall.

Attention, Wayne La JuanPierre!
by Michael X. Ferraro
Did the lady have too much whiskey?
She was howling for “cute Richie Zisky.”
While the organ played “Charge!”
Annie Oakley loomed large —
There’ve been shots fired at former Comiskey!
