BASES LOADED
The pitcher squares his CAP
He nods to the CATCHER
A steely glance to FIRST BASE
He throws another WALK
New batters step into POSITION
A swing and a MISS
Waiting for the SWEET-SPOT
Outfielders on GUARD
A fly ball goes FOUL
He checks his SWING
Then he hits a TRIPLE
Behind him comes a BASE HIT
One comes HOME
But a crushing DOUBLE PLAY
Ends the INNING
Tie GAME
Bottom of the NINTH
In steps a FINISHER
The Umpire sweeps HOME PLATE
All eyes on the BALL
Player after PLAYER
Two STRIKE OUT
Bases LOADED
HOME-RUN
Game WON!

A nice list poem
from America’s pastime
which is (sadly)
past Its time.
thank you for your comment! We can’t get enough Baseball around here in Baltimore…but I have realized writing a baseball poem is very difficult.
