Twenty-two years

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

Heroes

Old time players drank.
They didn’t take steroids.
Proud and hungover,
They inspired men and boys.

The Babe

Ruth didn’t let little kids stay shoved to the back.
He urged them forward.
Wrote them his autograph.

St. Matty

Rowdy New York City
Idolized gentleman Christy Mathewson.
He didn’t play dirty.
Got down to the nitty gritty.
Had lots of bad luck.
Kept his head up.
Was dignified to the end.
