Three rivers stadium – 1975


Hot. Humid.
No sun.
I loved Sanguillen.
Swingin’ at whatever looked good.

Girl watchers

A writer said to Rose,
Fewer boys play the game.
Pete said notice girls’ clothes.
You and I would do the same.

The competitors

Cobb had the killer.
So did Rose,
Ty was bitter.
Pete drew people close.

Tiger stadium 1972

When Reggie slid home in Detroit,
There was tremendous noise.
A real man transformed from little boy.

Candlestick

They complained about the wind.
Willie said it isn’t hot.
They pissed and moaned and griped.
Willie told ’em: Learn to win with what you got.

World Series photo 1960

Mazeroski crossing home. Season at glorious end.
All the hoopin’ and hollerin’,
How many players were friends?

Poetry in motion

Ty ran.
Determined to win.
Willie’s run was fun.
All the joy in him.

1934

Ruth toured Japan.
They waved American flags.
Seven years later you gagged.
Pearl Harbor.
Ships destroyed like tin cans.

Virility

Men in old days didn’t talk about sex.
They talked about baseball.
Had lots of kids.
The meaning of it all.
