The Hammer’s home run
nice “F You! ” to bigotry

Nobody in the ballpark
0-5
hitless through 7
feels like rock bottom

Herb Washington
Designated to run
Not to shake hands
Or kiss baby’s faces
But solely to suit up
And steal some bases.
We salute Herb on this other Washington’s birthday: 33 runs scored and 31 stolen bases in 105 games with nary a time at bat! (A repost from 2017.)
