Barry Bonds #9

by Lou Carlozo

There once was a hitter named Barry
Who mouthed off at each Tom, Dick and Harry.

No one could explain
Til the steroids made plain

That his brain synapse “bonds” had gone hairy.

Barry Bonds #7

by James Finn Garner and Stu Shea

Bud Selig won’t say if he’ll go
When Bonds has his really big show

And sets the new mark
For hits out of the park,

‘Cuz the commish ain’t a man to eat crow.

Barry Bonds #5

by John Shea

There once was a slugger most surly,
Whose build was suspiciously burly.

But when cut off last year
From his cream and his clear,

He hit like a miserable girly.

Barry Bonds #3

by Stu Shea

There once was a guy down the pike
Who was blacker than Andy Van Slyke.

He hits like Babe Ruth,
But to tell you the truth,

There’s little ’bout Barry to like.

A Brad (Not a Bad) Penny

by Stu Shea

 

Throw a Penny at a team,

And count the strikeouts.

Throw a Penny on the hill,

And watch the psych-out.

Other teams with payrolls high

Cannot hit this Dodgers guy

Sometimes talent stands alone!

This penny beats a million bones.
