The outfielders

Ty and Wahoo Sam,
Struggled to be the man.
Sam had more power.
Ty burst into flower,
Blooming all over the place.
The one we dream about today.

Turn of the century

They grew up on horses
Retired in cars.
Leaving bars
They glimpsed stars,
Remembering prairies after a game.
Their glove a pillow.
Boys dreaming of fame.
