Just want to thank you first of all for writing “The Silver Lining or Atleast the Yankees Lost”. It clearly
expressed my sentiments along with the sentiments of most other Tiger Fans I know. And second of all for sending the autographed copy! I’m looking for the appropriate frame. My husband is a huge Yankee Fan, I of course am not. But rest assured it will be hung proudly in a place of honor!Thanks Again!

Just found your site, thanx to my daughter (who found your postcard in a Seattle store). I wrote most of my baseball poetry before the Selig Strike of 94-95 … some is in “Romancing the Horsehide” (McFarland, 1993) and more coming out this spring in A BASEBALL FAMILY ALBUM — see

Are you in any way connected (yet) to SABR (www.sabr.org) which has a national network of folks devoted in various ways to baseball & the arts?
Or to the Baseball Reliquary? Or the L.A. Bards?

Succumb to injured digit
Whether hand or foot

A BASEBALL POEM
A foul off the bat
is simply that recovered
then
handed off to younger hands
an exchange a part of history
