Big rec

Great outfielders feel free here.

Plenty of room to run.

Track down your prey.

Show off your big gun.

Twenty-two years

Saw three balls coming.
Swung at the one in the middle.
Hall of Famer.
Alcohol abuser.
Hero to boys and men.

Unabashed

When fans saw Ruth unleash his power
They erupted with a roar.

Never being allowed to flower
They clamored for more.

1914

Europe went to war.
Ruth arrived at Boston’s door.
With war’s end, Europe gasped at death.
Two years later, Babe took away a nation’s breathe.

Great hurlers

McGinnity and Marquard threw faster,
But Matty was the master;
Depending on finesse when there was no need for power –
Christy proved the best. He had the longer hour.
