Fanaticism No Writing is excitingA
and baseball is like writingA
You can never tell with eitherB
how it will goC
or what you will doD
generating excitementE
a fever in the victimF
pitcher catcher fielder batterB
Victim in what categoryG
Owlman watching from the press boxH
To whom does it applyI
Who is excited Might it be II
-
It's a pitcher's battle all the way a duelJ
a catcher's as with cruelJ
puma paw Elston Howard lumbers lightlyG
back to plate His springA
de winged a bat swingA
They have that killer instinctK
yet Elston whose catchingA
arm has hurt them all with the batL
when questioned says unenviouslyG
I'm very satisfied We wonM
Shorn of the batting crown says WeG
robbed by a technicalityG
-
When three players on a side play three positionsN
and modify conditionsN
the massive run need not be everythingA
Going going IsO
it Roger MarisP
has it running fast You willG
never see a finer catch WellG
Mickey leaping like the devil whyI
gild it although deer sounds betterB
snares what was speeding towards its treetop nestQ
one handing the souvenir to beG
meant to be caught by you or meG
-
Assign Yogi Berra to Cape CanaveralG
he could handle any missileG
He is no feather Strike Strike twoD
Fouled back A blurB
It's gone You would inferB
that the bat had eyesR
He put the wood to that oneM
Praised Skowron says Thanks MelG
I think I helped a little bitS
All business each and modestyG
Blanchard Richardson Kubek BoyerB
In that galaxy of nine say whichT
won the pennant Each It was heG
-
Those two magnificent saves from the knee throwsU
by Boyer finesses in twosV
like Whitey's three kinds of pitch and preG
diagnosisW
with pick off psychosisW
Pitching is a large subjectX
Your arm too true at first can learn toD
catch your corners even troubleG
Mickey Mantle Grazed a YankeeG
My baby pitcher MontejoY
With some pedagogyY
you'll be tough premature prodigyY
-
They crowd him and curve him and aim for the knees TryingA
indeed The secret implyingA
I can stand here bat held steadyY
One may suit himZ
none has hit himZ
Imponderables smite himZ
Muscle kinks infections spike woundsA2
require food rest respite from ruffians Drat itS
Celebrity costs privacyY
Cow's milk tiger's milk soy milk carrot juiceB2
brewer's yeast high potencyY
concentrates presage victoryY
-
sped by Luis Arroyo Hector LopezC2
deadly in a pinch And YesD2
it's work I want you to bear downE2
but enjoy itS
while you're doing itS
Mr Houk and Mr SainF2
if you have a rummage saleG
don't sell Roland Sheldon or Tom TreshT
Studded with stars in belt and crownE2
the Stadium is an adastriumZ
O flashing OrionM
your stars are muscled like the lionM
