My friend, David, called me.
        He asked me to go to Atlanta.

        Of course, he
        has seats at Atlanta

        Braves.
        He told me to pack for

        the night. Braves
        are his favorite team.

        I love baseball: Braves,
        Cubs. Yankees, it may seem

        that I am fickle, but baseball
        has heroes

        and I have met some
        of the great ones,

        Pee Wee, Mantle,
        Rose and Minnie

        would cook me
         chicken strips at Sluggers

        and give me bottles of
        his favorite beer,

        non-alcohol,
        I was never to tell

        on him for his,
        keeping up

        appearances.
        He was awarded

        inclusion to the
        Hall of Fame,
