A swing and a miss.
And now the lone samurai
Returns to the bench.
- Ted Weir
Longball
The flyball skies high
In the stands, ten gloves await;
The pitcher kicks dirt
- Jon Sindell
last man waits on deck
quietly resting his fate
on sinking liner
- Paul Silverman
Horsehide pops leather,
evening game of throw and catch–
my father, his son.
- Jim Tomlinson
Pure Hitter
He swings, stands watching
lets the bat slip from his hands
jogs the bases, smug.
- Marty Carlock
Mikey on the mound.
Bases loaded. Team Slurpees
hang in the balance.
- Jim Ruland
The crack of the bat
Line drive down the third base line
Go right past second
- Steven Seighman
Kirk Gibson bum legs
Hit Eck's best backdoor slider
Breaking Oakland hearts
- Bob Arter
Like Ryan Howard,
J-Roll, and Schmidt before him,
Utley, MVP!
- Lee Klein
Opening Day
They start in Japan
Me with 6 AM coffee
3 on the west coast
- Timothy Gager

My first breaking ball:
It tumbled top to bottom
I fall on my ass
- Bob Arter
Once per year
On March 24
every team is tied for first
life is beautiful
- Timothy Gager
Combo Spatter
Beer and dogs and beer
Fierce sun and a hatless head
Vomit on the stairs.
- Melissa Bell
Sad news for Tigers
Granderson broke a finger
Won't play Op'ning Day
- Elizabeth Ellen
Only thing more fun
than my team winning is the
Yankees losing big.
- F John Sharp
Winter yields to spring
Hope burns again in my heart
Should last until May.
- Leonard Pierce
T-Ball Coach Rick Dobbs
T-Ball Coach Rick Dobbs
Expects nothing but the best
He is misguided
T-Ball Coach Rick Dobbs
Throws pop ups to his players
Who duck for cover
T-Ball Coach Rick Dobbs
Shows how to run the bases
As his team throws dirt
T-Ball Coach Rick Dobbs
Tells his batters to choke up
They all grab their necks
T-Ball Coach Rick Dobbs
Hits grounders to his fielders
While they run from moths
T-Ball Coach Rick Dobbs
Says "Everyone did great"
and "See you next week"
T-Ball Coach Rick Dobbs
Collects the stray baseballs and
hopes for better days
